Determining the significance and relative importance of parameters of a simulated quenching algorithm using statistical tools

Pedro A. Castillo, Maribel García Arenas, Nuria Rico +4

When search methods are being designed it is very important to know which parameters have the greatest influence on the behaviour and performance of the algorithm. To this end, alg…

The Complex Network of Evolutionary Computation Authors: an Initial Study

Carlos Cotta, Juan J. Merelo

EC paper authors form a complex network of co-authorship which is, by itself, a example of an evolving system with its own rules, concept of fitness, and patterns of attachment. In…
