In this work a cooperative, bid-based, model for problem decomposition is proposed with application to discrete action domains such as classification. This represents a significan...
In this paper, an object-oriented unified optimization framework (UOF) for general problem optimization is proposed. Based on evolutionary algorithms, numerical deterministic meth...
The research presented here addresses the problem of change impact analysis CIA for object-oriented software. A major problem for developers in an evolutionary environment is th...

This paper studies Genetic Programming (GP) and its relation to the Genetic Algorithm (GA). GP uses a GA approach to breed successive populations of programs, represented in the ch...
In combinatorial solution spaces Iterated Local Search (ILS) turns out to be exceptionally successful. The question arises: is ILS also capable of improving the optimization proces...
