An artificial immune system (ARTIS) is described which incorporates many properties of natural immune systems, including diversity, distributed computation, error tolerance, dynam...
Building blocks are a ubiquitous feature at all levels of human understanding, from perception through science and innovation. Genetic algorithms are designed to exploit this prev...
It is supposed that the finite search space has certain symmetries which can be described in terms of a group of permutations acting upon it. If crossover and mutation respect th...

This paper analyzes different representations for permutation flowshop problems. This is done using forma analysis to assess the quality of these representations with respect to m...
In this paper we first review the main results obtained in the theory of schemata in Genetic Programming (GP) emphasising their strengths and weaknesses. Then we propose a new, s...
