The advantage of space-filling designs of experiments
Space-filling designs of experiments guarantee an optimal coverage of the experimental space. To analyze characteristics of processes and products data is required. In many cases there is no data directly available. Therefore, to reach the best possible coverage of the different process states or product features, special designs of experiments [...]

Contemporary Evolution Strategies
Book published about evolutionary algorithms. Download the code of all algorithms on our website. Since the early 1990s, many algorithmic variations of so-called evolution strategies have been developed, characterized by the fact that they use the concept of self-adaption, and since the 1990s the so-called derandomization concept for strategy parameter [...]
