The impact of the shape of antibody recognition regions on the emergence of idiotypic networks. International Journal of Unconventional Computing. 1, 281-313. ISSN 1548-7199
One of the components of an AIS algorithm that most distinguishes it from other paradigms is the use of an affinity funciton. However, for the most part, the implications of c...

Learning a procedure that can solve hard bin-packing problems: a new GA-based approach to hyperheuristics
The idea underlying hyper-heuristics is to discover some
combination of familiar, straightforward heuristics that performs very well across a whole range of problems. To be wo...
