There are various automatic programming models inspired by evolutionary computation techniques. Due to the importance of devising an automatic mechanism to explore the complicated search space of mathematical problems where numerical methods fails, evolutionary computations are widely studied and applied to solve real world problems. One of the famous algorithm in optimization problem is shuffl...

This paper introduces a discussion about evolutionary search methods based on Hamming oracle. In many optimization problems, the design of the fitness function includes the Hamming distance being referred this kind of functions as Hamming oracle. In this paper we adopt a critical look and ask ourselves to what extent genetic algorithms and other related evolutionary methods truly mimic evolutio...

The ability to track dynamic functional optima is important in many practical tasks. Recent research in this area has concentrated on modifying evolutionary algorithms (EAs) by triggering changes in control parameters, ensuring population diversity, or remembering past solutions. A set of results are presented that favourably compare hill climbing with a genetic algorithm, and reasons for the r...

floorplanning is an important step in physical design of vlsi circuits. it is used to plan the positions of a set of circuit modules on a chip in order to optimize the circuit performance. however, modern floorplanning takes better care of providing extra options to place dedicated modules in the hierarchical designs to align circuit blocks one by one within certain bounding box for helping seq...

Abstract: Innovations, commercialized by new or old established firms, located at the core of industrial renewal process. The innovation concept has suffered transformations, along with the evolution of the models that try to explain and understand the innovation process. The innovative process corresponds to all activities that generate technological changes and the dynamic interaction between...
