Abstract
This paper investigates the adequacy of a general form of fitness function, based on a state-based specification, by characterizing the associated search problem and the dynamics of the applied metaheuristic. The measurement approach of the fitness landscape is experimented on various examples and suggests some tuning choices to be made for the metaheuristic considered.
