Hyper-heuristics are search methodologies which operate at a higher level of abstraction than traditional search and optimisation techniques. Rather than operating on a search space of solutions directly, a hyper-heuristic searches a space of low-level heuristics or heuristic components. An iterative selection hyper-heuristic operates on a single solution, selecting and applying a low-level heuristic...
One of the main challenges in algorithmics in general, and in Memetic Computing, in particular, is the automatic design of search algorithms. A recent advance in this direction (in terms of continuous problems) is the development of a software prototype that builds up an algorithm based upon a problem analysis of its separability. This prototype has been called the Separability Prototype for Automatic...
Highly multimodal landscapes with multiple local/global optima represent common characteristics in real-world applications. Many niching algorithms have been proposed in the literature which aim to search such landscapes in an attempt to locate as many global optima as possible. However, to locate and maintain a large number of global solutions, these algorithms are substantially influenced by their...
