Abstract We consider a form of phenotype plasticity in Genetic Programming (GP). This takes the form of a set of real-valued numerical parameters associated with each individual, a...
Crossover operators that preserve common components can also preserve representation level constraints. Consequently, these constraints can be used to beneficially reduce the sea...
Infrastructure management offices plan and complete several thousand small construction projects annually. Effective planning is vital if the public and private sectors are to mai...
Abstract. In order to escape from local optima, it is standard practice to periodically restart a genetic algorithm according to some restart criteria/policy. This paper addresses ...
The Processor Configuration Problem (PCP) is a Constraint Optimization Problem. The task is to link up a finite set of processors into a network, while minimizing the maximum dist...
