MEMETIC ALGORITHMS

The idea is to get individual improvements in solutions with cooperation processes and population-type competitions

    Here, there is a web with a lot of information about Memetic Algorithms. There is a complete list of research groups and bibliography.

    A brief bibliography about this metaheuristic:
