Evolutionary multitasking (EMT) is a newly emerging research topic in the community of
evolutionary computation, which aims to improve the convergence characteristic across …

The first cooperative co-evolutionary algorithm (CCEA) was proposed by Potter and De Jong
in 1994 and since then many CCEAs have been proposed and successfully applied to …

Identification of variable interaction is essential for an efficient implementation of a divide-
and-conquer algorithm for large-scale black-box optimization. In this paper, we propose an …

The interests in multiobjective and many-objective optimization have been rapidly
increasing in the evolutionary computation community. However, most studies on …

For complex system design [eg, satellite layout optimization design (SLOD)] in practical
engineering, when launching a new optimization instance with another parameter …

Three major sources of complexity in many real-world problems are size, variable
interaction, and interdependence of the subcomponents of a problem. With the rapid growth …

Automated fibre placement (AFP) systems have successfully intensified the demand for high-
quality composite component manufacturing in both the military and civilian fields. One of …

Cooperative coevolution (CC) provides a powerful divide-and-conquer architecture for large
scale global optimization (LSGO). However, its performance relies highly on decomposition …

The optimal layout of a complex system such as aerospace vehicles consists in placing a
given number of components in a container in order to minimize one or several objectives …

This paper studies the use of artificial evolution to automate the design of a satellite passive
thermal control system. This type of adaptation often requires the use of computer …
