Abstract

We present a new Immune Algorithm that incorporates a simple local search procedure to improve the overall performances to tackle the graph coloring problem instances. We characterize the algorithm and set its parameters in terms of Information Gain. Experiments will show that the IA we propose is very competitive with the best evolutionary algorithms.
