The analysis of the evolution of software systems is a useful source of information for a variety of activities, such as reverse engineering, maintenance, and predicting the future...
The evolution of a design pattern typically involves the addition or removal of a group of modeling elements, such as classes, attributes, operations, and relationships. However, ...
It is argued that natural evolution is, par excellence, an algorithm that exploits the physical properties of materials. Such an exploitation of the physical characteristics has a...
Mediators – used in federated information systems – provide a homogeneous read-only access to a set of autonomous information sources. To achieve semantic integration of the h...
This paper presents a novel evolutionary approach for function optimization Incremental Evolution Strategy (IES). Two strategies are proposed. One is to evolve the input variables...
