Cooperative Behavior Design of Simulated Ant Colony
نویسنده
چکیده
– Natural multi-agent systems like ant colonies prove that decentralized systems based on simple constituent parts can exhibit advanced global behavior that has important advantages over explicit central control in others systems. Unfortunately, it is difficult to design a collection of individual components and their local interaction in a way that will give rise to a successful global behavior. In this paper, an approach to evolving global emergent behavior in reactive multi-agent systems using genetic algorithms is presented. Key-Words: Multi-agent systems, Cooperative behavior, Evolutionary computation, Emergence, Artificial life

Finding the Shortest Hamiltonian Path for Iranian Cities Using Hybrid Simulated Annealing and Ant Colony Optimization Algorithms
The traveling salesman problem is a well-known and important combinatorial optimization problem. The goal of this problem is to find the shortest Hamiltonian path that visits each city in a given list exactly once and then returns to the starting city. In this paper, for the first time, the shortest Hamiltonian path is achieved for 1071 Iranian cities. For solving this large-scale problem, tw...
متن کاملSimulating Multiple Emergent Phenomena - Exemplified in an Ant Colony
Modeling the activity of an ant community based on the individual behavior of a single ant is a very modern approach, but until now the modeling has often been restricted to single phenomenon, e.g. foraging or recruiting. But these activities can not be seen independently from other necessary abilities. For example foraging, breeding, building a nest or defending a territory from enemies are al...
متن کاملGradient-based Ant Colony Optimization for Continuous Spaces
A novel version of Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithms for solving continuous space problems is presented in this paper. The basic structure and concepts of the originally reported ACO are preserved and adaptation of the algorithm to the case of continuous space is implemented within the general framework. The stigmergic communication is simulated through considering certain direction vect...
متن کاملHybrid Improved Dolphin Echolocation and Ant Colony Optimization for Optimal Discrete Sizing of Truss Structures
This paper presents a robust hybrid improved dolphin echolocation and ant colony optimization algorithm (IDEACO) for optimization of truss structures with discrete sizing variables. The dolphin echolocation (DE) is inspired by the navigation and hunting behavior of dolphins. An improved version of dolphin echolocation (IDE), as the main engine, is proposed and uses the positive attributes of an...
