Abstract This paper depicts and evaluates an evolutionary design process for generating a complex self-organizing multicellular system based on Cellular Automata (CA). We extend th...
In this article, a hybrid optimization method has been proposed consisting of modified ant colony systems (ACSs) and constrained nonlinear programming (NLP) to solve the problems ...
In combinatorial solution spaces Iterated Local Search (ILS) turns out to be exceptionally successful. The question arises: is ILS also capable of improving the optimization proces...
Abstract— Directional biases are evident in many benchmarking problems for real-valued global optimisation, as well as many of the evolutionary and allied algorithms that have be...
With resemblance of finite-state machines to some biological mechanisms in cells and numerous applications of finite automata in different fields, this paper uses analogies an...
