Experimental Analysis of a Variable Size Mono-population Cooperative-Coevolution Strategy

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Studies in Computational Intelligence ((SCI,volume 236))

Abstract

Cooperative coevolution strategies have been used with success to solve complex problems in various application domains. These techniques rely on a formulation of the problem to be solved as a cooperative task, where individuals collaborate or compete in order to collectively build a solution. Several strategies have been developed depending on the way the problem is shared into interdependent subproblems and the way coevolution occur (multipopulation versus monopopulation schemes). Here, we deal with a mono-population strategy (Parisian approach) applied to a problem related to the modeling of a cheese ripening process (french Camembert). A variable sized population Parisian GP strategy has been experimented, using adaptive deflating and inflating schemes for the population size. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the approach on real data collected on a laboratory cheese ripening production line.
