—Ant colony optimization (ACO) is a probabilistic technique used for solving complex computational problems, such as finding optimal routes in networks. It has been proved to pe...
Abstract. Sensor network deployment and its maintenance are very challenging due to hostile and unpredictable nature of environments. The field coverage of a wireless sensor networ...

This paper looks upon the standard genetic algorithm as an artificial self-organizing process. With the purpose to provide concepts that make the algorithm more open for scalabili...
The result of the program encoded into a Genetic Programming (GP) tree is usually returned by the root of that tree. However, this is not a general strategy. In this paper we pres...
