Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) has become quite popular in recent years. In contrast to many successful applications, the theoretical foundation of this randomized search heuristic...
Artificial Development Systems have been introduced as a technique aimed at increasing the scalability of evolutionary algorithms. Most commonly the development model is part of ...
This paper presents a hybrid approach to detect source-code clones that combines evolutionary algorithms and clustering. A case-study is conducted on a small C++ code base. The pr...

Designing technical plants is a complex and demanding process. It has been shown that the optimization of the simple facility placement problem is already NP-hard. Optimization of...
—Genetic Algorithms (GA) and Evolutionary Programming (EP) are two well-known optimization methods that belong to the class of Evolutionary Algorithms (EA). Both methods have gen...
