Solving CSPs using self-adaptive constraint weights: how to prevent EAs from cheating (2000)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Eiben, A. E., Jansen, B., Michalewicz, Z., & Paechter, B. (2000, July). Solving CSPs using self-adaptive constraint weights: how to prevent EAs from cheating. Presented at 2nd Annual Conference on Genetic and Evolutionary Computation, Las Vegas, US

This paper examines evolutionary algorithms (EAs) extended by various penalty-based approaches to solve constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs). In some approaches, the penalties are set in advance and they do not change during a run. In other approa...
