Evolution Strategy with Neighborhood Attraction - A Robust Evolution Strategy

Investigating the influence of the neighborhood attraction factor to evolution strategies with neighborhood attraction

The evolution strategy with neighborhood attraction (EN) is a new combination of self-organizing maps (SOM) and evolution strategies (ES). It adapts the neighborhood relationship known from SOM to ES individuals to concentrate them around the optimum of the problem. In this paper, detailed investigations on the in uence of one of the most important EN-operators { the neighborhood attraction { w...

Evolution Strategy with Neighborhood Attraction Using a Neural Gas Approach

Task Scheduling Algorithm Using Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy (CMA-ES) in Cloud Computing

The cloud computing is considered as a computational model which provides the uses requests with resources upon any demand and needs.The need for planning the scheduling of the user's jobs has emerged as an important challenge in the field of cloud computing. It is mainly due to several reasons, including ever-increasing advancements of information technology and an increase of applications and...

Modified Pareto archived evolution strategy for the multi-skill project scheduling problem with generalized precedence relations

In this research, we study the multi-skill resource-constrained project scheduling problem, where there are generalized precedence relations between project activities. Workforces are able to perform one or several skills, and their efficiency improves by repeating their skills. For this problem, a mathematical formulation has been proposed that aims to optimize project completion time, reworki...
