This paper sheds some light on the debate concerning evolutionary search using Prüfer numbers, and explains some of the controversial results. Previous work has shown that Prüfer numbers have low locality. Furthermore, it has been shown elsewhere that the locality of the Prüfer number depends...

When handling tree networks, researchers have sometimes tried using the pruefernumber representation for encoding networks, but GAs often degraded or broke down when used on this encoding. This paper investigates the locality of the pruefernumber and its effect on the performance of a Genetic...

When handling tree networks, a number of researchers have tried using the pruefernumberrepresentation for encoding the network, but GAs often degraded or broke down when used onthis encoding. This paper investigates the locality of the pruefernumber, which can be describedas the relatedness of...

"This report describes the skills tests conducted in the face-to-face (PAPI) interview of the IAB study 'Working and Learning in a Changing World' (ALWA). These tests focused on measuring cognitive skills in two domains, prose literacy and numeracy. The major goal of the ALWA study, for which...

"This report describes the variables of ALWA-LiNu data. The IAB study ALWA ('Work-ing and Learning in a Changing World') was conducted in 2007/08 and contains de-tailed retrospective life course data of 10,404 individuals living in Germany born in between 1956 and 1988. ALWA-LiNu provides...

Tactons sind taktile Nachrichten, die dem Nutzer Informationen über den haptischen Sinneskanal übermitteln, und können beispielsweise bei der Interaktion mit Touchscreens von Nutzen sein. In dieser Studie wird die systematische Erarbeitung eines Tacton-Sets für Standardfunktionen einer...
