-A concept of a bi-population scheme for real-coded GAs consisting of an explorer sub-GA and an exploiter sub-GA is proposed. The explorer sub-GA mainly does exploration so as to avoid being trapped in local optima by means of restart mechanism; and the exploiter sub-GA does exploitation by which search can be performed more precisely in the neighborhood of the best solution obtained so far. An...

Proposed missions to explore comets and moons will encounter environments that are hostile and unpredictable. A successful explorer must be able to adapt to a wide range of possible operating solutions to survive. Constructing special-purpose behaviors requires information about the environment, which is not available a priori for these missions. Instead, we propose an explorer that uses a flex...

SAS Visual Analytics Explorer is an advanced data visualization and exploratory data analysis application that is a component of the SAS Visual Analytics solution. It excels at handling big data problems like the VAST challenge. With a wide range of visual analytics features and the ability to scale to massive datasets, SAS Visual Analytics Explorer enables analysts to find patterns and relatio...

Mandelbrot Maps is a fractal explorer for the Mandelbrot Set and the Julia Sets allowing for their real time exploration. The fractal explorer also provides mechanisms for studying two important theorems that relate the two sets together Tan Lei’s similarity theorem and Fatou’s connectedness theorem. The tool has been used to show case how parallelisation techniques can be used to obtain better...
