A fundamental problem for case-based reasoning systems is how to select relevant prior cases. Numerous strategies have been developed for determining the similarity of prior cases,...
Abstract. The maximum diversity problem (MDP) consists of identifying optimally diverse subsets of elements from some larger collection. The selection of elements is based on the d...

In this paper we test whether a correlation exists between the optimal mutation rate and problem difficulty. We find that the range of optimal mutation rates is inversely proporti...
A model of the dynamics of solving the counting-ones (OneMax) problem using a simple genetic algorithm (GA) is developed. It uses statistics of the early generations of GA runs to ...
Tree pattern matching is a fundamental problem that has a wide range of applications in Web data management, XML processing, and selective data dissemination. In this paper we deve...
