Self-configurable memetic algorithm by Le, Minh Nghia

“…Furthermore, when high-fidelity analysis codes are used for evaluating design solutions in the optimization process, it is not uncommon for the single simulation process to take minutes, hours to days of supercomputer time to compute. Since the design cycle time of a product is directly proportional to the number of calls made to the costly analysis solvers, there has been practical needs for novel meta-model/surrogate-assisted memetic frameworks that can handle these forms of problems elegantly.…”
