— Hornby’s Age-Layered Population Structure claims to reduce premature convergence in Evolutionary Algorithms. We provide the first evaluation of ALPS on a realworld problem ...
Abstract— Self-assembly is a distributed, asynchronous mechanism that is pervasive across natural systems where hierarchical complex structures are built from the bottom-up. The ...
This paper suggests an evolutionary approach to design coordination strategies, a key issue in distributed intelligent systems. We focus on competitive strategies in the form of f...
We use reinforcement learning (RL) to compute strategies for multiagent soccer teams. RL may pro t signi cantly from world models (WMs) estimating state transition probabilities an...
This paper proposes an evolutionary framework where a network service is created from a group of autonomous agents that interact and evolve. Agents in our framework are capable of ...
