Improving genetic algorithms performance via deterministic population shrinkage
Juan Luis Jiménez Laredo, Carlos Fernandes, Juan Julián Merelo +1
Despite the intuition that the same population size is not needed throughout the run of an Evolutionary Algorithm (EA), most EAs use a fixed population size. This paper presents an…
Using Dissortative Mating Genetic Algorithms to Track the Extrema of Dynamic Deceptive Functions
C. M. Fernandes, J. J. Merelo, A. C. Rosa
Traditional Genetic Algorithms (GAs) mating schemes select individuals for crossover independently of their genotypic or phenotypic similarities. In Nature, this behaviour is known…
KohonAnts: A Self-Organizing Ant Algorithm for Clustering and Pattern Classification
C. Fernandes, A. M. Mora, J. J. Merelo +2
In this paper we introduce a new ant-based method that takes advantage of the cooperative self-organization of Ant Colony Systems to create a naturally inspired clustering and patt…
Computational Chemotaxis in Ants and Bacteria over Dynamic Environments
Vitorino Ramos, C. M. Fernandes, A. C. Rosa +1
Chemotaxis can be defined as an innate behavioural response by an organism to a directional stimulus, in which bacteria, and other single-cell or multicellular organisms direct the…
On Ants, Bacteria and Dynamic Environments
Vitorino Ramos, Carlos Fernandes, Agostinho C. Rosa
Wasps, bees, ants and termites all make effective use of their environment and resources by displaying collective swarm intelligence. Termite colonies - for instance - build nests…
Self-Regulated Artificial Ant Colonies on Digital Image Habitats
Carlos Fernandes, Vitorino Ramos, Agostinho C. Rosa
Artificial life models, swarm intelligent and evolutionary computation algorithms are usually built on fixed size populations. Some studies indicate however that varying the popula…
