This book is the result of several years of research trying to better characterize parallel
genetic algorithms (pGAs) as a powerful tool for optimization, search, and learning. Readers …

In this paper a new algorithm for edge detection using ant colony search is proposed. The
problem is represented by a directed graph in which nodes are the pixels of an image. To …

The evolvable hardware literature reports several methods for the evolution of digital circuits.
However, there is a large variability in the set of problems and the appropriate metrics used …

Ants exhibit collective behaviour in performing tasks that cannot be carried out by an
individual ant. When ants are working, they must communicate with each other through a …

摘要蚂蚁群体能完成单个蚂蚁所无法完成的工作. 它们通过称为信息素的物质交流信息而协同
工作. 蚂蚁在觅食活动中, 在食物与巢穴之间的路径上留下信息素, 较短路径信息素相对较浓 …

This book is the result of several years of research trying to better characterize parallel
genetic algorithms (pGAs) as a powerful tool for optimization, search, and learning. We here …

Experimental results show that parallel programs can be evolved more easily than
sequential programs in genetic parallel programming (GPP). GPP is a novel genetic …

In this paper we investigate evolutionary mechanisms and propose a new mutation operator
for the evolutionary design of Combinational Logic Circuits (CLCs). Understanding the root …

We propose the model approaching the problems of organisation, computing and emergent
behavior of certain swarms from category theory point of view. In this model the Yoneda …

This paper proposes an application of the Ant System (AS) to optimize combinational logic
circuits at the gate level. A measure of quality improvement is defined in partially built circuits …
