Although analysis of genome rearrangements was pioneered by Dobzhansky and Sturtevant 65 years ago, we still know very little about the rearrangement events that produced the exis...
Modern software has to evolve to meet the needs of stakeholders; but the nature and scope of this evolution is difficult to anticipate and manage. In this paper, we examine techn...
Constrained continuous optimization is still an interesting field of research. Many heuristics have been proposed in the last decade. Most of them are based on penalty functions....
Design optimization is a well established application field of evolutionary computation. However, standard recombination operators acting on the genotypic representation of the d...

Refactorings are behavior-preserving program transformations that automate design evolution in object-oriented applications. Three kinds of design evolution are: schema transformat...
