In other word, EHW has two sections; the reconfigurable hardware and evolutionary algorithm where the configurations are under the control of an evolutionary algorithm. ...

Towards Analyzing Crossover Operators in Evolutionary Search via General Markov Chain Switching Theorem
cs.NE
Evolutionary algorithms (EAs), simulating the evolution process of natural species, are used to solve optimization problems. Crossover (also called recombination), originated from simulating the chromosome exchange phenomena in zoogamy reproduction, is widely employed in EAs to generate offspring solutions, of which th...

An efficient implementation of the simulated annealing heuristic for the quadratic assignment problem
cs.NE
The quadratic assignment problem (QAP) is one of the most difficult combinatorial optimization problems. One of the most powerful and commonly used heuristics to obtain approximations to the optimal solution of the QAP is simulated annealing (SA). We present an efficient implementation of the SA heuristic which perform...

Particle Swarm Optimization Framework for Low Power Testing of VLSI Circuits
cs.NE
Power dissipation in sequential circuits is due to increased toggling count of Circuit under Test, which depends upon test vectors applied. If successive test vectors sequences have more toggling nature then it is sure that toggling rate of flip flops is higher. Higher toggling for flip flops results more power dissipa...

Production System Rules as Protein Complexes from Genetic Regulatory Networks
cs.NE
This short paper introduces a new way by which to design production system rules. An indirect encoding scheme is presented which views such rules as protein complexes produced by the temporal behaviour of an artificial genetic regulatory network. This initial study begins by using a simple Boolean regulatory network to...

Self-Organisation of Evolving Agent Populations in Digital Ecosystems
cs.NE
We investigate the self-organising behaviour of Digital Ecosystems, because a primary motivation for our research is to exploit the self-organising properties of biological ecosystems. We extended a definition for the complexity, grounded in the biological sciences, providing a measure of the information in an organism...

Statistical Approach for Selecting Elite Ants
cs.NE
Applications of ACO algorithms to obtain better solutions for combinatorial optimization problems have become very popular in recent years. In ACO algorithms, group of agents repeatedly perform well defined actions and collaborate with other ants in order to accomplish the defined task. In this paper, we introduce new ...

Reducing the Arity in Unbiased Black-Box Complexity
cs.NE
We show that for all $1<k \leq \log n$ the $k$-ary unbiased black-box complexity of the $n$-dimensional $\onemax$ function class is $O(n/k)$. This indicates that the power of higher arity operators is much stronger than what the previous $O(n/\log k)$ bound by Doerr et al. (Faster black-box algorithms through higher ar...

Computational Complexity Analysis of Multi-Objective Genetic Programming
cs.NE
The computational complexity analysis of genetic programming (GP) has been started recently by analyzing simple (1+1) GP algorithms for the problems ORDER and MAJORITY. In this paper, we study how taking the complexity as an additional criteria influences the runtime behavior. We consider generalizations of ORDER and M...

Hybridizing PSM and RSM Operator for Solving NP-Complete Problems: Application to Travelling Salesman Problem
cs.NE
In this paper, we present a new mutation operator, Hybrid Mutation (HPRM), for a genetic algorithm that generates high quality solutions to the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP). The Hybrid Mutation operator constructs an offspring from a pair of parents by hybridizing two mutation operators, PSM and RSM. The efficiency...
