— We present a new representation for individuals in problems that have cyclic permutations as solutions. To demonstrate its usefulness, we analyze a simple randomized local sear...
Abstract. Nowadays genetic algorithms stand as a trend to solve NPcomplete and NP-hard problems. In this paper, we present a new hybrid metaheuristic which uses Parallel Genetic Al...
— Edge detection is a computer vision algorithm that is very processor intensive. It is possible to increase the speed of the algorithm by using hardware parallelism. This paper ...
⎯A new nonslicing floorplan representation, the moving block sequence (MBS), is proposed in this paper. Our idea of the MBS originates from the observation that placing blocks on...
Self-adaptation is used a lot in Evolutionary Strategies and with great success, yet for some reason it is not the mutation adaptation of choice for Genetic Algorithms. This poste...
