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...
Evolutionary algorithms (EA) are optimisation techniques inspired from natural evolution processes. They handle a population of individuals that evolve with the help of informatio...
We present quantitative models for the selection pressure on cellular evolutionary algorithms structured as a ring of cells. We obtain results for synchronous and asynchronous cell...

In this paper we discuss the evolution of several components of a traditional Evolutionary Algorithm, such as genotype to phenotype mappings and genetic operators, presenting a for...
Evolutionary techniques provide powerful tools to design novel solutions for hard problems in different areas. However, the problem of scale (i.e. how to create a large, complex s...
