In real world, pass of time causes decrease in money value. Therefore, taking into account the time value of money in time-cost trade-off problem makes this problem is becoming more and more realistic. In this paper, we study ...

This paper describes a co-evolutionary learning-optimisation approach to Protein Structure Prediction which uses a Memetic Algorithm as its underlying search method. Instance-specific knowledge can be learned, stored and applied by the system in the form of a population of rules. These rules determine the neighbourhoods used by the local search process, which is applied to each member of the co...
