Randomized search heuristics, among them randomized local search and evolutionary algorithms, are applied to problems whose structure is not well understood, as well as to problems...
Abstract. The multiple sequence alignment problem (MSA) can be reformulated as the problem of finding a maximum weight trace in an alignment graph, which is derived from all pairw...
Tensegrity structures are stable 3-dimensional mechanical structures which maintain their form due to an intricate balance of forces between disjoint rigid elements and continuous...

— This paper presents a new method to generalize strategies in order to control parameters of Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs). A learning process establishes the relationship betwe...
Abstract. This work introduces a new evolutionary algorithm that adapts the operator probabilities (rates) while evolves the solution of the problem. Each individual encodes its ge...
