The relationship between immunological memory and a class of associative memories known as sparse distributed memories (SDM) is well known. This paper proposes a new model for clustering non-stationary data based on a combination of salient features...

Solving a real world routing problem using multiple evolutionary algorithms. (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Urquhart, N. B., Ross, P., Paechter, B., & Chisholm, K. (2002, September). Solving a real world routing problem using multiple evolutionary algorithms. Presented at 7th International Conference PPSN: International Conference on Parallel Problem Solving from Nature-, Granada, Spain

This paper investigates the solving of a real world routing problem using evolutionary algorithms embedded within a Multi-agent system (MAS). An architecture for the MAS is proposed and mechanisms for controlling the interactions of agents are invest...

Hyper-heuristics: learning to combine simple heuristics in bin-packing problems. (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ross, P., Schulenburg, S., Marin-Blazquez, J. G., & Hart, E. (2002). Hyper-heuristics: learning to combine simple heuristics in bin-packing problems.

Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) often appear to be a ‘black box’, neither offering worst-case bounds nor any guarantee of optimality when used to solve individual problems. They can also take much longer than non-evolutionary methods. We
try to addres... Read More about Hyper-heuristics: learning to combine simple heuristics in bin-packing problems..

Improving street based routing using building block mutations. (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Urquhart, N. B., Ross, P., Paechter, B., & Chisholm, K. (2002, April). Improving street based routing using building block mutations. Presented at Workshops on Applications of Evolutionary Computation EvoWorkshops 2002, Kinsale, Ireland

Street based routing (SBR) is a real-world inspired routing problem that builds routes within an urban area for mail deliveries. The authors have previously attempted to solve this problem using an Evolutionary Algorithm (EA). In this paper the autho...
