New Extensions of Reproduction Operators In solving LABS Problem Using EMAS Meta-Heuristic.

Agent-based evolutionary, computational systems have been proven to be an efficient concept for solving complex computational problems. In this paper, we propose and evaluate new variants of reproduction operators together with new heuristics for generation of initial population, dedicated to LABS – a hard discrete optimisation problem. The paper illustrates how to design and implement particular parts of the algorithm and discusses required conditions for evolutionary parameters and operators.
