摘要
A vast number of very successful applications of Global-Local Search Hybrids have been reported in the literature in the last years for a wide range of problem domains. The majority of these papers report the combination of highly specialized pre-existing local searchers and usually purpose-specific global operators (e.g. genetic operators in an Evolutionary Algorithm). In this paper we concentrate on one particular class of Global-Local Search Hybrids, Memetic Algorithms (MAs), and we describe the implementation of "self-generating" mechanisms to produce the local searches the MA uses. This implementation is tested in two problems, NK-Landscape Problems and the Maximum Contact Map Overlap Problem (MAX-CMO). © 2004 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
