We use 810 versions of the Linux kernel, released over a period of 14 years, to characterize the system’s evolution, using Lehman’s laws of software evolution as a basis. We i...
This paper proposes a new solution to the vehicle routing problem with time windows using an evolution strategy adopting viral infection. The problem belongs to the NP-hard class a...
This paper presents a novel evolvable hardware framework for the automated design of digital circuits for high performance applications. The technique evolves circuits correspondi...
Web services are loosely coupled software components that are published, discovered, and invoked across the Web. As the use of Web services grows, in order to correctly interact w...
Hinton and Nowlan have demonstrated a model of how lifetime plasticity can guide evolution. They show how acquired traits change the shape of the reward landscape in which subseque...
