FERRANTE NERI

RESEARCH


Some important contributions of my career include

     - Studies algorithmic design of Differential Evolution and reported in the review articles available at this link and this link

     - An edited Handbook on Memetic Algorithms and a review article on Memetic Computing









     - Studies on P Systems used as number generators to solve optimisation problems, such as the one available at this link


I am involved in numerous editorial activities, e.g. I am Associate Editor of Information Science, Memetic Computing and Member of the Editorial Committee for Integrated Computer-Aided Engineering.
