GVNS – Demos Abstracts

To give the reader a more clear view of the GVNS potentialities a number of demonstrations is included in this CD-ROM. Table 1 has indicated their objectives, relation to the simulations carried out in the thesis and physical file used to run the demo. For graphic information about structure, typical performances, and activations try the links underneath each demonstration heading.
