  abstract =     "Typical applications of evolutionary optimization
                 involve the off-line approximation of extrema of static
                 multi-modal functions. Methods which use a variety of
                 techniques to self-adapt mutation parameters have been
                 shown to be more successful than methods which do not
                 use self-adaptation. For dynamic functions, the
                 interest is not to obtain the extrema but to follow it
                 as closely as possible. This paper compares the on-line
                 extrema tracking performance of an evolutionary program
                 without self-adaptation against an evolutionary program
                 using a self-adaptive Gaussian update rule over a
                 number of dynamics applied to a simple static function.
                 The experiments demonstrate that for some dynamic
                 functions, self-adaptation is effective while for
                 others it is detrimental.",
