This paper1 provides a motivation for the application of search based optimization to Software Engineering, an area that has come to be known as Search Based Software Engineering (...
Recent statistical performance surveys of search algorithms in difficult combinatorial problems have demonstrated the benefits of randomising and restarting the search procedure. ...
Abstract. In domains such as music and visual art, where the quality of an individual often depends on subjective or hard to express concepts, the automating fitness assignment bec...

: The paper presents results on the runtime complexity of two ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithms: Ant System, the oldest ACO variant, and GBAS, the first ACO variant for whic...
The success of popular algorithms such as k-means clustering or nearest neighbor searches depend on the assumption that the underlying distance functions reflect domain-specific n...
