— Reservoir modeling is an on-going activity during the production life of a reservoir. One challenge to constructing accurate reservoir models is the time required to carry out ...
— Hyper-heuristics or “heuristics to chose heuristics” are an emergent search methodology that seeks to automate the process of selecting or combining simpler heuristics in o...
Abstract— We propose an asynchronous island-model algorithm distribution framework and test the popular Differential Evolution algorithm performance when a few processors are ava...
Evolutionary algorithms have employed the SAW (Stepwise Adaptation of Weights) method in order to solve CSPs (Constraint Satisfaction Problems). This method originated in hill-clim...
— Traditional particle swarm optimization (PSO) suffers from the premature convergence problem, which usually results in PSO being trapped in local optima. This paper presents an...
