The quality of Evolutionary Multi-Objective Optimisation (EMO) approximation sets can be measured by their proximity, diversity and pertinence. In this paper we introduce a modular and extensible Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm (MOEA) capable of converging to the Pareto-optimal front in a minimal number of function evaluations and producing a diverse approximation set. This algorithm, calle...Show More

An real world engineering design problem is usually with multiple conflicting objectives, and it is easily lead to the difficulty to optimize these objectives at the same time. Multiobjective combinatorial optimization is not only an open theory problem, but also with an important practical significance. After modeling the constrained multiobjective combinatorial optimization problem, a new optimi...Show More
Pairwise sequence alignment forms the basis of numerous other applications in bioinformatics. The quality of an alignment is gauged by statistical significance rather than by alignment score alone. Therefore, accurate estimation of statistical significance of a pairwise alignment is an important problem in sequence comparison. Recently, it was shown that pairwise statistical significance does bett...Show More
Evolutionary testing has been researched and promising results have been presented. However, evolutionary testing has remained predominately a research-based activity not practiced within industry. Although attempts have been made, such as Daimler's Evolutionary Structural Test (EST) prototype, until now, no such tool has been suitable for industrial adoption. The European project EvoTest (IST-334...Show More
Replication studies increase our confidence in previous results when the findings are similar each time, and help mature our knowledge by addressing both internal and external validity aspects. However, these studies are still rare in certain software engineering fields. In this paper, we replicate and extend a previous study, which denotes the current state-of-the-art for multi-objective software...Show More
Benchmarking plays a vital role in evaluating and comparing evolutionary algorithms. Our research addresses this critical need by introducing an innovative approach: rating-based confidence bands. This method serves to evaluate algorithm performance across various execution stages, enabling statistical comparison at different cutpoints of maximum Function Evaluations (maxFEs). Using publicly avail...Show More
A novel classification algorithm, OCEC (Organizational CoEvolutionary algorithm for Classification), based on evolutionary computation for data mining is proposed. It is compared to GA-based and non GA-based algorithms on 8 datasets from the UCI machine learning repository. Results show OCEC can achieve higher prediction accuracy, smaller number of rules and more stable performance.Show More
In the previous work it was observed that certain problem solving phases emerged during the optimization process for a real-valued functional surface within a cone-world environment using a cultural algorithm. The cultural algorithm was configured using five knowledge sources in the belief space, and evolutionary programming model in the population space (Reynolds and Saleem, 2003). It turned out ...Show More
Increasingly, Software Engineering (SE) researchers use search-based optimization techniques to solve SE problems with multiple conflicting objectives. These techniques often apply CPU-intensive evolutionary algorithms to explore generations of mutations to a population of candidate solutions. An alternative approach, proposed in this paper, is to start with a very large population and sample down...Show More
In solving multi-modal, multi-objective optimization problems (MMOPs), the objective is not only to find a good representation of the Pareto-optimal front (PF) in the objective space but also to find all equivalent Pareto-optimal subsets (PSS) in the variable space. Such problems are practically relevant when a decision maker (DM) is interested in identifying alternative designs with similar perfo...Show More
Testing is a very important and expensive part of developing Android applications. Several tools for automatically testing Android applications have been proposed. In particular, Sapienz is a search-based tool that has been recently deployed in an industrial setting. Although it has been shown that Sapienz outperforms several state-of-the-art tools, it is still to be seen what features of Sapienz ...Show More
In engineering optimization, machine learning becomes increasingly popular to intelligently obtain a continuous approximation in terms of discrete samples, so that the number of expensive experiments can be significantly reduced. Based on it, some typical steps of optimization process, e.g., search for the optimum, sensitivity analysis (SA), visualization, and statistical analysis, can be achieved...Show More
In this study, a method of identifying the direct transfer function of a target plant using quaternion-valued neural networks (QVNNs) was proposed. Its possibility for controlling nonlinear system applications was also explored. The QVNN-based identifier predicted the future plant output in the model predictive control approach. The resulting prediction was used to define an objective function for...Show More
The manufacturing activities of an enterprise can be categorized as production with high and low carbon emissions. The evolutionary path of enterprises is analyzed on the basis of a construction of the evolutionary game model. And then carbon tax which is regarded as an effective method to reduce emissions is tested. The conclusion is that carbon tax is not always useful. In addition, enterprise's...Show More
The goal of an evolutionary algorithm (EA) is to find the global optimum in a state space of potential solutions. But these systems can become trapped in local optima due to the EA having only generational information. Using the scouting algorithm (SA) it is suggested that a cross-generation memory mechanism can be added to modulate fitness relative to how well a region has previously been sampled...Show More
The opinions of different experts in the stock markets often divert with each other. Basing on these various opinions and assumptions, the prediction models and results are also very diverse. They will reach their conclusion from different angles. For example, one may say that Hong Kong's market is influenced heavily by its own past movements, while others may argue that US may also has a strong i...Show More
Evolutionary computation methods are successfully applied in solving of combinatorial optimization problems. Since the “No Free Lunch” theorem states that there is no single best algorithm to solve all possible problems, throughout the years many algorithms and their modifications have emerged. When a new algorithm is developed, one question that naturally arises is how it compares to other algori...Show More
