—The first hitting time (FHT) plays an important role in convergence evaluation for evolutionary algorithms. However, the current criteria of the FHT are mostly under a hypothesi...
This work presents a new approach to solve the location management problem by using the location areas approach. A combination of a genetic algorithm and the Hopfield neural netwo...
Abstract. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in addressing dynamic optimization problems (DOPs) using evolutionary algorithms (EAs). Several approaches have been de...
Abstract. In order to escape from local optima, it is standard practice to periodically restart a genetic algorithm according to some restart criteria/policy. This paper addresses ...
- In this paper we present ACS, a distributed algorithm for the solution of combinatorial optimization problems which was inspired by the observation of real colonies of ants. We a...
