Novel Hybrid Problems in C, Java & Matlab for CEC'05 SS on Real-Parameter Optimization
Dear Evolutionary Computation Researcher,

Special Session on Real-Parameter Optimization at CEC'05, Edinburgh, UK,
2 - 5 Sept. 2005

Since the first call in early December 2004, we have been working on a
set of benchmark problems, evaluation criteria, associated codes in
Matlab, Java & C over the last 3 months.

We believe that the introduction of hybrid functions, identification of
several comparison pairs, specifications of evaluation criteria and
specifications of shifts and rotation matrices, etc. are useful steps in
the right direction. All these are available for downloading from

http://staffx.webstore.ntu.edu.sg/MySite/Public.aspx?accountname=epnsugan

The files are:
1. Summary20-Jan-05.pdf briefly presents the early feedbacks
received in response to the CFP found in w-shop-cfp-dec-04.pdf
2. Intro-2-funs-09-Mar-05.pdf defines all the 25 chosen benchmark
functions, rotation matrices, comparison pairs, etc.
3. Evaluation-criteria-10-Mar-05.pdf recommends how to collect and
report results. You are free to report results in different formats
(which show the strength of your algorithm) in addition to the results
in the desired formats.
4. Matlab files were the 1st source files created by Jane Jing
Liang ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) and available in 4 folders as
Matlab-files & ASCI-files.
5. The translation to Java was done by Ying-ping Chen (

00-tests and the codes are in Java-ypchen-050309
6. The translation to C was done by Santosh Tiwari (

7. Additional pseudo-real problems and associated details are
available from Professor Darrell Whitley. This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

If you identify any errors in any of these documents/codes, please
kindly inform me.

We thank the following researchers for their contributions. We will very
soon revise the pdf documents to include the acknowledgments formally in
the documents.

Nikolaus Hansen & Anne Auger: Significant help in the development of the
pdf files and Matlab codes

Jane Jing Liang: worked on all pdf documents, and developed the Matlab
codes.

Marc Schoenauer: Weiserstrass fractal function, noise in
variables/fitness.

William Hart: optimum on the bounds to somewhat mimic constraint
problems, volunteered to convert the codes to AMPL.

Hans-Paul Schwefel: Fletcher-Powell function, weblink to his book
chapter.

Maurice Clerc: the need to account for the number of FES needed to fine
tune parameters, time complexity computation,

Vitaliy Feoktistov: Volunteered to perform Matlab to Visual Studio.Net
code conversion

Ying-ping Chen: Performed Matlab to Java code conversion.

Ballester Aristin, Pedro: narrow basin of attraction for global optimum.

Bogdan Filipic: continuous vs discrete problems

Santosh Tiwari: Performed the Matlab to C conversion.

Darrell Whitley: contributed pseudo-real problem and expanded problems.

Please prepare the papers according to the guidelines at the CEC'05 web
pages and submit the papers at the submission web pages. The submission
deadline is ~ 14th of April, 2005. Please kindly inform us the details
of your submission so that we can ensure that they'd be included in the
special session.

We look forward to receiving your submissions.

With best wishes
