Advances of Evolutionary Computation: Methods and Operators

The goal of this book is to present advances that discuss alternative Evolutionary Computation (EC) developments and non-conventional operators which have proved to be eective in the solution of several complex problems. The book has been structured so that each chapter can be read independently from the others. The book contains nine chapters with the following themes: 1) Introduction, 2) the Social Spider Optimization (SSO), 3) the States of Matter Search (SMS), 4) the collective animal behavior (CAB) algorithm, 5) the Allostatic Optimization (AO) method, 6) the Locust Search (LS) algorithm, 7) the Adaptive Population with Reduced Evaluations (APRE) method, 8) the multimodal CAB, 9) the constrained SSO method.

Discusses recent advances and alternative developments in Evolutionary Computation Highlights nonconventional operators which prove to be effective in adapting a determined EC method to a specific problem Consists of self-contained chapters that can be read independently from the others Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
