Degeneracy: a design principle for achieving robustness and evolvability

, 2009
Robustness, the insensitivity of some of a biological system's functionalities to a set of distinct conditions, is intimately linked to fitness. Recent studies suggest that it may also play a vital role in enabling the evolution of species.

Generic adaptive heuristics for large neighborhood search

, 2010
The Large Neighborhood Search (LNS) approach for solving Constrained Optimization Problems has been proved to be eective on a wide range of problems. LNS is a local search metaheuristic that uses a complete search method (such as CP) to explore a large neighborhood.
