Special issue on emerging trends in soft computing: memetic algorithms

In the last few decades, evolutionary algorithms (EAs) have gradually established a strong foothold as powerful search methods in many complex disciplines ranging from arts & design, business & finance to science & engineering. Although well established as credible and powerful search tools, researchers in this area are now facing new challenges of increasing computational needs in today’s appl...

Special Issue on Current Trends in Soft Computing

In the second paper, Fayçal Belkaid, Zaki Sari, and Mehdi Souier developed a genetic algorithm (GA) to solve the parallel machine scheduling problem with consumable resources. To check effectiveness of this algorithm, workers compared it with an exact resolution method, which enumerates all possible solutions for small instances and with a heuristic for large instances. Various randomly generat...

Special issue on hardware implementations of soft computing techniques

Soft computing (SC) techniques, which include methods from fuzzy logic, neural networks, evolutionary computing, and other similar areas, have proven in the last few years how tolerance for imprecision, uncertainty, or approximation can be exploited to achieve tractable, robust, and low cost solutions. Most of SC methods and algorithms have been implemented in software on common computer system...
