A Finite Population Model of Molecular Evolution: Theory and Computation

This article is concerned with the evolution of haploid organisms that reproduce asexually. In a seminal piece of work, Eigen and coauthors proposed the quasispecies model in an attempt to understand such an evolutionary process. Their work has impacted an ...

Black-box Optimization Benchmarking of NIPOP-aCMA-ES and NBIPOP-aCMA-ES on the BBOB-2012 Noiseless Testbed

Ilya Loshchilov

In this paper, we study the performance of NIPOP-aCMA-ES and NBIPOP-aCMA-ES, recently proposed alternative restart strategies for CMA-ES. Both algorithms were tested using restarts till a total number of function evaluations of

10^6D

Alternative Restart Strategies for CMA-ES

Ilya Loshchilov

This paper focuses on the restart strategy of CMA-ES on multi-modal functions. A first alternative strategy proceeds by decreasing the initial step-size of the mutation while doubling the population size at each restart. A second strategy adaptively alloca ...

Model-Based Design for Wireless Body Sensor Network Nodes

David Atienza Alonso, Francisco Javier Rincon Vallejos, Nadia Khaled, Ivan Beretta

Wireless body sensor networks (WBSNs) are a rising technology that allows constant and unobtrusive monitoring of the vital signals of a patient. The configuration of a WBSN node proves to be critical in order to maximize its lifetime, while meeting the pre ...

Optimizing linear discriminant error correcting output codes using particle swarm optimization

Nikolaos Arvanitopoulos Darginis

Error Correcting Output Codes reveal an efficient strategy in dealing with multi-class classification problems. According to this technique, a multi-class problem is decomposed into several binary ones. On these created sub-problems we apply binary classif ...

Parallel and Distributed Optimization of Dynamic Data Structures for Multimedia Embedded Systems

David Atienza Alonso, José Luis Risco Martin

Energy-efficient design of multimedia embedded systems demands optimizations in both hardware and software. Software optimization has no received much attention, although modern multimedia applications exhibit high resource utilization. In order to efficie ...

Evacuation simulation with limited capacity sinks

Gunnar Flötteröd

We heuristically solve an evacuation problem with limited capacity shelters. An evolutionary learning algorithm is developed for the combined route- and shelter-assignment problem. It is complemented with a heuristic method for the fair minimization of she ...

Optimization of cascade stilling basins using GA and PSO approaches

David Andrew Barry, Roham Bakhtyar

In high head dams, the kinetic energy at the spillway toe is very high and the tail-water depth available for energy dissipation is relatively small. Cascade stilling basins are energy dissipation systems for high head dams, the design of which is based on ...
