Given an RNA family characterized by conserved sequences and folding constraints, the problem is to search for all the instances of the RNA family in a genomic database. As seed-ba...
Modularity is thought to improve the evolvability of biological systems [18, 22]. Recent studies in the field of evolutionary computation show that the use of modularity improves...
We consider a possible scenario of experimental analysis on heuristics for optimization: identifying the contribution of local search components when algorithms are evaluated on th...
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...
Abstract. In this paper, we study the problem of placing limited number of wavelength converting nodes in a multi-fiber network with static traffic demands and propose a tabu sear...
