Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) are stochastic search methods that mimic the natural biological evolution and/or the social behavior of species. Such algorithms have been developed ...
Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is a metamodelbased optimization method. Its strategy is to explore small subregions of the parameter space in succession instead of attempting ...
Originally, genetic algorithms were developed based on the binary representation of candidate solutions in which each conjectured solution is a fixed-length string of binary numb...
Software prefetching has been demonstrated as a powerful technique to tolerate long load latencies. However, to be effective, prefetching must target the most critical (frequently...
This paper presents a modification of the particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) intended to combat the problem of premature convergence observed in many applications of PSO. ...
