Island-Based Multimemetic Algorithms

Memes are patterns-based rewriting rules [CàA]:
• C, A ∈Σr with Σ={0,1,#}, r∈Ν
• ‘#’ represents a wildcard symbol

• Importance of migrant selection
and migrant replacement
• Replacement strategy has less
impact than selection strategy
• Strategies based on memetic
diversity are better than genetic
counterparts.
• Probabilistic model is
competitive with some
migrations operators
Future work:
• More complex probabilistic
model
• Other self-adaptative memetic
models
Let G=00010011, and let a
meme be 01#à1#0:
