Endocrine Control Evolutionary Algorithm

The paper presents a new technique for the control of the population's dynamic in evolutionary optimization. The technique is inspired by the endocrine system, respectively, by the control mechanism of the hormones concentration. The approach is suitable for multimodal optimization in static or dynamic environment. The major advantage of the proposal is given by the fact that there is no need of a supplementary mechanism for detecting the changes or an extra parameter for estimate the multiple optima vicinities.
