متن کاملMethod for Optimizing Communication Costs in ACODA Using Simulated Annealing
ACODA is a truly distributed framework for Ant Colony Optimization. ACODA is heavily using message passing, so communication costs are quite high. In this paper we formulate the optimization of communication costs in ACODA as a mathematical optimization problem. We analyze the feasibility of its solution using Simulated Annealing.

A state of the automaton represents a particular process in a complex patient diagnosis using influence diagrams encoding clinical knowledge about the case. Transitions model switch between diagnosis cognitive processes, such...
