Hybridisation of Evolutionary Algorithms through hyper-heuristics for global continuous optimisation (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Segredo, E., Lalla-Ruiz, E., Hart, E., Paechter, B., & Voß, S. (2016, May). Hybridisation of Evolutionary Algorithms through hyper-heuristics for global continuous optimisation. Presented at Learning and Intelligent OptimizatioN Conference LION 10, Ischi

Choosing the correct algorithm to solve a problem still remains an issue 40 years after the Algorithm Selection Problem was first posed. Here we propose a hyper-heuristic which can apply one of two meta-heuristics at the current stage of the search....

Hybrid parameter control approach applied to a diversity-based multi-objective Memetic Algorithm for frequency assignment problems (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In order to address the difficult issue of parameter setting within a diversity-based Multi-objective Evolutionary Algorithm (MOEA), we recently proposed a hybrid control scheme based on both Fuzzy Logic Controllers (FLCs) and Hyper-heuristics (HHs)....

Understanding Environmental Influence in an Open-Ended Evolutionary Algorithm (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Steyven, A., Hart, E., & Paechter, B. (2016, October). Understanding Environmental Influence in an Open-Ended Evolutionary Algorithm. Presented at PPSN 2016 14th International Conference on Parallel Problem Solving from Nature

It is well known that in open-ended evolution, the nature of the environment plays in key role in directing evolution. However, in Evolutionary Robotics, it is often unclear exactly how parameterisation of a given environment might influence the emer...

Artificial Immunology for Collective Adaptive Systems Design and Implementation (2016)
Journal Article
Capodieci, N., Hart, E., & Cabri, G. (2016). Artificial Immunology for Collective Adaptive Systems Design and Implementation. ACM transactions on autonomous and adaptive systems, 11(2), 1-25. https://doi.org/10.1145/2897372

Distributed autonomous systems consisting of large numbers of components with no central control point need to be able to dynamically adapt their control mechanisms to deal with an unpredictable and changing environment. Existing frameworks for engin... Read More about Artificial Immunology for Collective Adaptive Systems Design and Implementation.

A hyper-heuristic ensemble method for static job-shop scheduling. (2016)
Journal Article
Hart, E., & Sim, K. (2016). A hyper-heuristic ensemble method for static job-shop scheduling. Evolutionary Computation, 24(4), 609-635. https://doi.org/10.1162/EVCO_a_00183

We describe a new hyper-heuristic method NELLI-GP for solving job-shop scheduling problems (JSSP) that evolves an ensemble of heuristics. The ensemble adopts a divide-and-conquer approach in which each heuristic solves a unique subset of the instance... Read More about A hyper-heuristic ensemble method for static job-shop scheduling..
