Pair approximations have often been used to predict equilibrium conditions in spatially-explicit epidemiological and ecological systems. In this work, we investigate whether this ...
Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) are population-based heuristic search methods that use probabilistic models of good solutions to guide their search. When applied to co...
Distributed problem solving by a multiagent system represents a promising approach to solving complex computational problems. However, many multiagent systems require certain degr...
We propose a selection scheme called Fitness-based Neighbor Selection (FNS) for multimodal optimization. The FNS is aimed for ill-scaled and locally multimodal domain, both found ...
In this paper we propose a new parallelization scheme for Simulated Annealing — Hierarchical Parallel SA (HPSA). This new scheme features coarse-granularity in parallelization, d...
