Recently, there has been increased interest in evolutionary computation applied to changing optimization problems. The paper surveys a number of approaches that extend the evolutionary algorithm with implicit or explicit memory, suggests a new benchmark problem and examines under which circumstances a memory may be helpful. From these observations, we derive a new way to explore the benefits of a memory while minimizing its negative side effects
