When we construct an agent by integrating modules, there appear troubles concerning the autonomy of the agent if we introduce a heuristics that dominates the whole agent. Thus, we ...
The task of finding the optimum of some function f(x) is commonly accomplished by generating and testing sample solutions iteratively, choosing each new sample x heuristically on t...
Abstract-- A novel algorithm to solve constrained realparameter optimization problems, based on the Artificial Bee Colony algorithm is introduced in this paper. The operators used ...
Ant colonies, and more generally social insect societies, are distributed systems that, in spite of the simplicity of their individuals, present a highly structured social organiz...
Abstract--Finding the longest simple path in a generic undirected graph is a challenging issue that belongs to the NPComplete class of problems. Four approaches based on genetic al...
