Abstract:

We are interested in de��ning a general evolutionary algorithm to solve Constraint Satisfaction Problems, which takes into account both advantages of the systematic and traditional methods and of characteristics of the CSP. In this context knowledge about properties of the constraint network has allowed us to de��ne a ��tness function, and two operators arc-crossover and arc-mutation. We introduce here a new operator called Self-Adap-arc which uses the idea of self adaptivity and looks at the constraint network during the evolution. This operator is used to improve the stochastic search.
