'Catalin Buiu'] Many swarm optimization algorithms have been introduced since the early 60’s, Evolutionary Programming to the most recent, Grey Wolf Optimization. All of these algorithms have demonstrated their potential to solve many optimization problems. This paper provides an in-depth survey of well-known…

This paper presents an overview of significant advances made in the emerging field of nature-inspired computing (NIC) with a focus on the physics- and biology-based approaches and algorithms. A parallel development in the past two decades has been the emergence of the field of computational intelligence (CI) consisting…

Evolution optimizes cellular behavior throughout sequential generations by selecting the successful individual cells in a given context. As gene regulatory networks (GRNs) determine the behavior of single cells by ruling the activation of different processes - such as cell differentiation and death - how GRNs change…

'Lingling Li' 'Ronghua Shang' 'Yangyang Li' 'Wenping Ma' 'Shuyuan Yang'] Nature, with its numerous surprising rules, serves as a rich source of creativity for the development of artificial intelligence, inspiring researchers to create several nature-inspired intelligent computing paradigms based on natural mechanisms.…

Comparatively few studies have addressed directly the question of quantifying the benefits to be had from using molecular genetic markers in experimental breeding programmes (e.g. for improved crops and livestock), nor the question of which organisms should be mated with each other to best effect. We argue that this…

'Mohammad Khalilzadeh' 'Amin Valizadeh'] In this study, we evaluate several nongradient (evolutionary) search strategies for minimizing mathematical function expressions. We developed and tested the genetic algorithms, particle swarm optimization, and differential evolution in order to assess their general efficacy in…

'Laith Abualigah' 'Xuewen Xia'] With a focus on education and teaching, we provide general background information on bioinspired optimization methods by comparing the concept of optimization and the search for an optimum in engineering and biology. We introduce both the principles of Darwinian evolution and the basic…

We investigate the use of competitive co-evolution for synthesizing progressively better solutions. Specifically, we introduce a set of methods to measure historical and global progress. We discuss the factors that facilitate genuine progress. Finally, we compare the efficacy of four qualitatively different algorithms.…

Evolutionary computation is a group of biologically inspired algorithms used to solve complex optimization problems. It can be split into evolutionary algorithms, which take inspiration from genetic inheritance, and swarm intelligence algorithms, that take inspiration from cultural inheritance. However, much of the…

Metaheuristic procedures (MH) have been a trend driving Artificial Intelligence (AI) researchers for the past 50 years. A variety of tools and applications (not only in Computer Science) stem from these techniques. Also, MH frequently rely on evolution, a trademark process involved in cell colony growth. Generally, MH…

Evolutionary algorithms, a class of optimization techniques inspired by biological evolution, have emerged as powerful tools for the optimization of complex systems, including the evolution of mass-action chemical reaction networks. This work explores the application of evolutionary algorithms in this domain…

Valiant [1] proposed to treat Darwinian evolution as a special kind of computational learning from statistical queries. The statistical queries represent a genotype’s fitness over a distribution of challenges. And this distribution of challenges along with the best response to them specify a given abiotic environment…
