Working on the Structural Components of Evolutionary Approaches
Alexandros Tzanetos, Jakub Kůdela · 2024
Several researchers have turned their attention to the structural components of Evolutionary Computation and Swarm Intelligence-oriented approaches. This direction offers various opportunities, such as developing automatic design and configuration frameworks and integrating operators and mechanisms addressing known limitations. This work lists recent operators and discusses promising mechanisms found in existing atureinspired approaches. It also discusses how these algorithmic components can be integrated into modular frameworks and how they can be assessed and benchmarked. The work aims to emphasize the importance of the research direction about nature-inspired mechanisms and operators in the Evolutionary Computation field.
