  abstract =     "The HFC model for evolutionary computation is inspired
                 by the stratified competition often seen in society and
                 biology. Subpopulations are stratified by fitness.
                 Individuals move from low-fitness subpopulations to
                 higher-fitness subpopulations if and only if they
                 exceed the fitness-based admission threshold of the
                 receiving subpopulation, but not of a higher one. HFC's
                 balanced exploration and exploitation, while avoiding
                 premature convergence, is shown on a genetic
                 programming example.",
