Abstract

As users can have greatly different preferences, the personalization of ambient devices is of utmost importance. Several approaches have been proposed to establish such a personalization in the form of machine learning or more dedicated knowledge-driven learning approaches. Despite its huge successes in optimization, evolutionary algorithms (EAs) have not been studied a lot in this context, mostly because it is known to be a slow learner. Currently however, quite fast EA based optimizers exist. In this paper, we investigate the suitability of EAs for ambient intelligence.
