Abstract

Archive-based cooperative coevolutionary algorithms attempt to retain a set of individuals which act as good collaborators for other coevolved individuals in the evolutionary system. We introduce a new archive-based algorithm, called iCCEA, which compares favorably with other cooperative coevolutionary algorithms. We explain the current problems with cooperative coevolution which have given rise to archive methods, detail the iCCEA algorithm, compare it against other traditional and archive-based methods on basic problem domains, and discuss the reasons behind the performance of various algorithms.
