Computational genomics involves comparing sequences based on “similarity” for detecting evolutionary and functional relationships. Until very recently, available portions of th...
A variety of hybrid genetic algorithms has been recently proposed to address the vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW), a problem known to be NP-hard. However, very few...
The Negative Slope Coefficient (nsc) is an empirical measure of problem hardness based on the analysis of offspring-fitness vs. parent-fitness scatterplots. The nsc has been teste...
Utility Grids create an infrastructure for enabling users to consume services transparently over a global network. When optimizing workflow execution on utility Grids, we need to c...
The Baldwin Effect is a very plausible, but unproven, biological theory concerning the power of learning to accelerate evolution. Simple computational models in the 1980’s gave...
