A challenge in hybrid evolutionary algorithms is to define efficient strategies to cover all search space, applying local search only in actually promising search areas. This pape...
This paper presents an applicable model for complex multiattribute negotiations between autonomous agents. The model adopts a novel protocol which decomposes the original n-dimens...
This paper presents a novel evolutionary approach to solve numerical optimization problems, called Adaptive Evolution (AEv). AEv is a new micro-population-like technique because i...
A novel stochastic searching scheme based on the Monte Carlo optimization is presented for polygonal approximation (PA) problem. We propose to combine the split-and-merge based lo...
