Agent-Based Natural Domain Modeling for Cooperative Continuous Optimization

چکیده
While multi-agent systems have been successfully applied to combinatorial optimization, very few works concern their applicability to continuous optimization problems. In this article we propose a framework for modeling a continuous optimization problems as multi-agent system, which we call NDMO, by representing the problem as an agent graph, and complemented with optimization solving behaviors. Some of the results we obtained with our implementation on several continuous optimization problems are presented.

متن کاملPERFORMANCE OF DIFFERENT ANT-BASED ALGORITHMS FOR OPTIMIZATION OF MIXED VARIABLE DOMAIN IN CIVIL ENGINEERING DESIGNS
Ant colony optimization algorithms (ACOs) have been basically introduced to discrete variable problems and applied to different research domains in several engineering fields. Meanwhile, abundant studies have been already involved to adapt different ant models to continuous search spaces. Assessments indicate competitive performance of ACOs on discrete or continuous domains. Therefore, as poten...
متن کاملExperimenting on a Novel Approach to MDO using an Adaptive Multi-Agent System
1. Abstract MultiDisciplinary Optimization (MDO) problems represent one of the hardest and broadest domains of continuous optimization. By involving both the models and criteria of different disciplines, MDO problems are often too complex to be tackled by classical optimization methods. We propose an approach for taking into account this complexity using a new formalism (NDMO Natural Domain Mod...
متن کاملMulti-agent Systems with Compasses
This paper investigates agreement protocols over cooperative and cooperative–antagonistic multiagent networks with coupled continuous-time nonlinear dynamics. To guarantee convergence for such systems, it is common in the literature to assume that the vector field of each agent is pointing inside the convex hull formed by the states of the agent and its neighbors, given that the relative states...
