Differential evolution (DE) is a simple yet powerful evolutionary algorithm for global numerical optimization. Different strategies have been proposed for the offspring generation...
— Multi-agent coordination problems can be cast as distributed optimization tasks. Probability Collectives (PCs) are techniques that deal with such problems in discrete and conti...
Supply chain formation presents difficult coordination issues for distributed negotiation protocols. Agents must simultaneously negotiate production relationships at multiple lev...
