In pharmaceutical modelling, cellular automata have been used as an established tool to represent molecular changes through discrete structural interactions. The data quality provided by such modelling is found suitable for the early drug design phase where flexibility is paramount. While both synchronous (CA) and asynchronous (ACA) types of automata have been used, analysis of their nature and...

In this paper we extend a previously proposed randomized landscape generator in combination with a comparative experimental methodology to study the behaviour of continuous metaheuristic optimization algorithms. In particular, we generate landscapes with parameterised, linear ridge structure and perform pairwise comparisons of algorithms to gain insight into what kind of problems are easy and d...
