Optimal Design and Rehabilitation of Water Distribution Networks using Evolutionary Computation Algorithms: a Literature Review

Cooperative Co-evolution generates interest with its ability to solve complex domains by breaking down the problem into subcomponents. To be used to the best effect, we must understand the performance of cooperative co-evolution under varying circumstances. This paper aims to further the understanding the capabilities of cooperative co-evolution by expanding the understanding of the effect of collaboration methods and extending the analysis to deceptive domains. We show that cooperative co-evolution is fully capable of handling deceptive domains through the variation of collaboration methods.
