Abstract. The mutation distribution of evolutionary algorithms usually is oriented at the type of the search space. Typical examples are binomial distributions for binary strings i...
Existing niching techniques commonly use the Euclidean distance metric in the decision space for the classification of feasible solutions to the niches under formation. This approa...
This paper reports the results of a multi-agent simulation designed to study the emergence and evolution of symbolic communication. The novelty of this model is that it considers s...
The traveling salesman problem with time windows is known to be a really difficult benchmark for optimization algorithms. In this paper, we are interested in the minimization of th...
Developing large multi-agent systems is a complex task involving the processes of the requirement, architecture, design and implementation of these systems. In particular, the arc...
