نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents one target of the Evo-business project (2003-2005, conducted at University of Luxembourg) which aims at applying evolutionary algorithms (and more precisely loosely coupled genetic algorithms) to the distributed optimization of functions representing corporate goals within Virtual Organizations. The distribution of the algorithm will be achieved using a standard multi-agent framework.

Function Optimization with Coevolutionary Algorithms
The problem of parallel and distributed function optimization with coevolutionary algorithms is considered. Two coevolutionary algorithms are used for this purpose and compared with sequential genetic algorithm (GA). The first coevolutionary algorithm called a loosely coupled genetic algorithm (LCGA) represents a competitive coevolutionary approach to problem solving and is compared with anothe...
متن کاملA class of multi-agent discrete hybrid non linearizable systems: Optimal controller design based on quasi-Newton algorithm for a class of sign-undefinite hessian cost functions
In the present paper, a class of hybrid, nonlinear and non linearizable dynamic systems is considered. The noted dynamic system is generalized to a multi-agent configuration. The interaction of agents is presented based on graph theory and finally, an interaction tensor defines the multi-agent system in leader-follower consensus in order to design a desirable controller for the noted system. A...
متن کاملEvaluation of Strategies for Co-evolutionary Genetic Algorithms: Dlcga Case Study
Dafo, a multi-agent framework dedicated to distributed coevolutionary genetic algorithms (CGAs) is used to evaluate dLCGA, a new dynamic competitive coevolutionary genetic algorithm. We compare the performance of dLCGA to other known classes of CGAs for the Inventory Control Parameter optimization problem (ICP) and in particular show how it improves the results of the static version of LCGA. IN...
متن کاملDafo, a Multi-agent Framework for Decomposable Functions Optimization
This paper introduces Dafo, a new multi-agent framework for evolutionary optimization relying on a competitive coevolutionary genetic algorithm, aka LCGA (Loosely Coupled Genetic Algorithm). We describe our solution, discuss of the potential advantages of using an agent based approach and present some results on a real case study: i.e. Inventory Control Parameter (ICP) optimization problem.
متن کاملAERO-THERMODYNAMIC OPTIMIZATION OF TURBOPROP ENGINES USING MULTI-OBJECTIVE GENETIC ALGORITHMS
In this paper multi-objective genetic algorithms were employed for Pareto approach optimization of turboprop engines. The considered objective functions are used to maximize the specific thrust, propulsive efficiency, thermal efficiency, propeller efficiency and minimize the thrust specific fuel consumption. These objectives are usually conflicting with each other. The design variables consist ...
