Fuzzy cognitive maps constitute a neuro-fuzzy modeling methodology that can simulate complex systems accurately. Although their configuration is defined by experts, learning schemes based on evolutionary and swarm intelligence algorithms have been employed for improving their efficiency and effectiveness. This paper comprises an extensive study of the recently proposed swarm intelligence memeti...

In this paper we examine 10 different functions in order (a) to test specific parameter of a parallel execution of memetic algorithms and (b) to evaluate the general computational behavior of MAs. The available theoretical analysis on memetic algorithms does not offer a tool which could help in a generalized adjustment of control parameters, leaving the choice of the proper operators, parameter...
