Software merging is a common and essential activity during the lifespan of large-scale software systems. Traditional textual merge techniques are inadequate for detecting syntacti...
Abstract. Motivated by recent techniques developed for observing evolutionary dynamics of a single DNA molecule, we introduce a formal model for accepting an observed behavior of a...
This work describes a new way of employing problem-speciļ¬c heuristics to improve evolutionary algorithms: the Population Training Heuristic (PTH). The PTH employs heuristics in ļ...
This paper is concerned with a specific brand of evolutionary algorithms: Memetic algorithms. A new local search technique with an adaptive neighborhood setting process is introdu...
Cooperative co-evolution is often used to solve diļ¬cult optimization problems by means of problem decomposition. Its performance for such tasks can vary widely from good to disa...
