Our interest is to define evolutionary algorithms to solve Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSP), which indlude benefits of taditional resolution methods of CSPs as well as inherent characteristics of these kind of prob...

This paper presents a neuro-fuzzy network where all its parameters can be tuned simultaneously using Genetic Algorithms. The approach combines the merits of fuzzy logic theory, neural networks and genetic algorithms. The...

Research work on "short-text clustering" is a very important research area due to the current tendency for people to use "small-language", e.g. blogs, textmessaging and others. In some recent works, new bioinspired clust...

Clustering task aims at the unsupervised classification of patterns (e.g., observations, data, vec- tors, etc.) in different groups. Clustering problem has been approached from different disciplines during the last years...

Boundary extraction is an important procedure associated with recognition and interpretation tasks in digital image processing and computer vision. Most of the segmentation techniques are based on the detection of the lo...

Three alternatives within the method of assignment by classes are presented for the calculation of individuals lifetime in genetic algorithms with varying population size. (GAVaPS). In the proposed strategy (assignment b...

The use of evolutionary and swarm intelligence algorithms, has become a very popular option to solve complex real-world optimization problems. However, in their original versions, these algorithms lack a mechanism to han...

Niche formation allows evolutionary algorithms to be used when the location and maintenance of multiple solutions appertaining to diverse areas of the phenotypic space is required. Consequently the application field can ...

The Web has became an obiquitous resource for distributed computing making it relevant to investigate new ways of providing efficient access to services available at dedicated sites. Efficiency is an ever-increasing dema...

We present a study of using fuzzy-based parameters for solving public bus routing problem where demand is uncertain. The fuzzy-based parameters are designed to provide data required by the route selection procedure. The ...

This paper presents an Ant Colony Optimisation (ACO) model for the Multiple Knapsack Problem (MKP). The ACO algorithms, as well as other evolutionary metaphors, are being applied successfully to diverse heavily constrain...

The parallel computing model used in this paper, the Collective Computing Model (CCM), is a variant of the well-known Bulk Synchronous Parallel (BSP) model. The synchronicity imposed by the BSP model restricts the set of...

In this paper, an analysis of the 4-(N2-1) Puzzle, which is a generalization of the (N2-1) Puzzle, is presented. This problem is of interest due to its algorithmic and computational complexity and its applications to rob...

Tissue classification in Magnetic Resonance (MR) brain images is an important issue in the analysis of several brain dementias. This paper presents a modification of the classical K-means algorithm taking into account th...

In this article we consider the problem of computing approximations to the second derivatives of functions of n variables using finite differences. We show how to derive different formulas and how to comput the errors of...

Migration of individuals allows a fruitful interaction between subpopulations in the island model, a well known distributed approach for evolutionary computing, where separate subpopulations evolve in parallel. This mode...

Non-stationary, or dynamic, problems change over time. There exist a variety of forms of dynamism. The concept of dynamic environments in the context of this paper means that the fitness landscape changes during the run...

This paper presents an analysis of the aspects to take into account when reformulating the teaching and learning processes of a first course of Algorithmics employing elements of Distance Education in a Web-based virtual...
