Optimizing Genetic Algorithms Using the Binomial Distribution
Vincent A. Cicirello
Evolutionary algorithms rely very heavily on randomized behavior. Execution speed, therefore, depends strongly on how we implement randomness, such as our choice of pseudorandom nu…

Open Source Evolutionary Computation with Chips-n-Salsa
Vincent A. Cicirello
When it was first introduced, the Chips-n-Salsa Java library provided stochastic local search and related algorithms, with a focus on self-adaptation and parallel execution. For th…
