Kent McClymont · 2013
This paper provides an updated survey of new literature in, and related to, the field of problem understanding which has been published or made available since January 2012. The bibliographic information from the survey is available online at http://bit.ly/ZWoY3X. The survey covers work on the topics of: Benchmark Problems; Problem Decomposition & Multiobjectivisation; Landscape Analysis; Problem Difficulty; and Algorithm Selection & Performance Prediction. In addition, special attention is drawn to three recently published and excellent topic specific surveys. A side note is also made regarding the parallels between problem understanding, and specifically landscape analysis and the work of fitness landscape analysis in theoretical, conventional and evolutionary biology.
