The SOTM provides means for a visual approach to evolutionary clustering, which aims at producing a sequence of clustering solutions. This task we denote as visual dynamic clustering. The implication of an automated SOTM is not on...

Finding a Maximum Clique using Ant Colony Optimization and Particle Swarm Optimization in Social Networks
cs.SI
Interaction between users in online social networks plays a key role in social network analysis. One on important types of social group is full connected relation between some users, which known as clique structure. Therefore finding a maximum clique is essential for some analysis. In this paper, we proposed a new meth...

A Framework for Genetic Algorithms Based on Hadoop
cs.NE
Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are powerful metaheuristic techniques mostly used in many real-world applications. The sequential execution of GAs requires considerable computational power both in time and resources. Nevertheless, GAs are naturally parallel and accessing a parallel platform such as Cloud is easy and cheap. Ap...

A Unified Markov Chain Approach to Analysing Randomised Search Heuristics
math.OC
The convergence, convergence rate and expected hitting time play fundamental roles in the analysis of randomised search heuristics. This paper presents a unified Markov chain approach to studying them. Using the approach, the sufficient and necessary conditions of convergence in distribution are established. Then the a...

Evolutionary Design of Numerical Methods: Generating Finite Difference and Integration Schemes by Differential Evolution
cs.NE
Classical and new numerical schemes are generated using evolutionary computing. Differential Evolution is used to find the coefficients of finite difference approximations of function derivatives, and of single and multi-step integration methods. The coefficients are reverse engineered based on samples from a target fu...

Multi-objective Flower Algorithm for Optimization
cs.NE
Flower pollination algorithm is a new nature-inspired algorithm, based on the characteristics of flowering plants. In this paper, we extend this flower algorithm to solve multi-objective optimization problems in engineering. By using the weighted sum method with random weights, we show that the proposed multi-objective...

Markov Chain Analysis of Evolution Strategies on a Linear Constraint Optimization Problem
cs.NE
This paper analyses a $(1,\lambda)$-Evolution Strategy, a randomised comparison-based adaptive search algorithm, on a simple constraint optimisation problem. The algorithm uses resampling to handle the constraint and optimizes a linear function with a linear constraint. Two cases are investigated: first the case where ...

A Dynamic Simulation-Optimization Model for Adaptive Management of Urban Water Distribution System Contamination Threats
cs.OH
Urban water distribution systems hold a critical and strategic position in preserving public health and industrial growth. Despite the ubiquity of these urban systems, aging infrastructure, and increased risk of terrorism, decision support models for a timely and adaptive contamination emergency response still remain a...

Novelty Search in Competitive Coevolution
cs.NE
One of the main motivations for the use of competitive coevolution systems is their ability to capitalise on arms races between competing species to evolve increasingly sophisticated solutions. Such arms races can, however, be hard to sustain, and it has been shown that the competing species often converge prematurely ...

Continuous On-line Evolution of Agent Behaviours with Cartesian Genetic Programming
cs.NE
Evolutionary Computation has been successfully used to synthesise controllers for embodied agents and multi-agent systems in general. Notwithstanding this, continuous on-line adaptation by the means of evolutionary algorithms is still under-explored, especially outside the evolutionary robotics domain. In this paper, w...

A Critical Reassessment of Evolutionary Algorithms on the cryptanalysis of the simplified data encryption standard algorithm
cs.CR
In this paper we analyze the cryptanalysis of the simplified data encryption standard algorithm using meta-heuristics and in particular genetic algorithms. The classic fitness function when using such an algorithm is to compare n-gram statistics of a the decrypted message with those of the target message. We show that ...
