Distributed Genetic Algorithms (DGAs) designed for the Internet have to take its high communication cost into consideration. For island model GAs, the migration topology has a maj...
This paper introduces a novel scheme of improving the performance of particle swarm optimization (PSO) by a vector differential operator borrowed from differential evolution (DE)....
Differential evolution (DE) is well known as a simple and efficient scheme for global optimization over continuous spaces. In this paper we present two new, improved variants of D...
We describe a generator for hierarchical problems called the Hierarchical Problem Generator (HPG). Hierarchical problems are of interest since they constitute a class of problems ...
