In this paper we investigate the effectiveness of a documentindependent technique for eliciting feedback from users about their information problems. We propose that such a techni...
: In a canonical genetic algorithm, the reproduction operators (crossover and mutation) are random in nature. The direction of the search carried out by the GA system is driven pur...
Abstract. A protein is a linear chain of amino acids that folds into a unique functional structure, called its native state. In this state, proteins show repeated substructures lik...
Cellular genetic algorithms (cGAs) are mainly characterized by their spatially decentralized population, in which individuals can only interact with their neighbors. In this work,...
A genetic algorithm encoding is proposed which is able to automatically satisfy a class of important cardinality constraints where the set of distinct values of the design variabl...
