— This paper presents Natural Evolution Strategies (NES), a novel algorithm for performing real-valued ‘black box’ function optimization: optimizing an unknown objective func...
Abstract. In this paper we discuss Evolution Strategies within the context of interactive optimization. Different modes of interaction will be classified and compared. A focus will...
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...
Efficient task scheduling is critical to achieving high performance on grid computing environment. A heuristic task scheduling algorithm satisfied resources load balancing on grid ...
After an outline of the history of evolutionary algorithms, a new ( ) variant of the evolution strategies is introduced formally. Though not comprising all degrees of freedom, it i...
