Two innovative GA-based techniques are developed by using different strategies for the minimization of a suitably defined cost function. The first implementation is based on a set of parallel GA-based optimization sub-processes, whereas the other consists of a single process based on a variable length coding of the GA chromosomes. A set of representative test cases is analyzed for assessing potentialities and current limitations of the proposed strategy. date: 2011-01 type: Technical Report type: NonPeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en identifier: http://www.eledia.org/students-reports/360/1/DISI-11-246.C119.pdf identifier: Benedetti, Manuel and Donelli, Massimo and Pastorino, Matteo and Rosani, Andrea and Massa, Andrea (2011) Detection of Multiple Defects in Industrial Products by Means of a Non-Destructive Microwave Approach.
