Xianshun Chen · 2014
Memetic computation, a paradigm that uses the notion of meme(s) as units of information encoded in computational representations for the purpose of problem-solving, represents one of the frontiers in the computational intelligence research, of today's optimization research.This dissertation takes an explorative attitude in the design of memetic computing frameworks and algorithms by leveraging the co-adaptive nature of meme complexes or memeplexes.The
