Starting from some simple observations on a popular selection method in Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs)--tournament selection--we highlight a previously-unknown source of inefficien...
This paper is concerned with a fixed-size population of autonomous agents facing unknown, possibly changing, environments. The motivation is to design an embodied evolutionary algo...
The performance of Evolutionary Programming (EP) is affected by many factors (e.g. mutation operators and selection strategies). Although the conventional approach with Gaussian mu...
A new genetic algorithm to detect communities in social networks is presented. The algorithm uses a fitness function able to identify groups of nodes in the network having dense ...
—A novel Fast Bacterial Swarming Algorithm (FBSA) for high-dimensional function optimization is presented in this paper. The proposed algorithm combines the foraging mechanism of...
