Dafo, a Multi-agent Framework for Decomposable Functions Optimization
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

A Multi-Agent Organizational Framework for Coevolutionary Optimization
This paper introduces DAFO, a Distributed Agent Framework for Optimization that helps in designing and applying Coevolutionary Genetic Algorithms (CGAs). CGAs have already proven to be efficient in solving hard optimization problems, however they have not been considered in the existing agent-based metaheuristics frameworks that currently provide limited organization models. As a solution, DAFO...
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 کاملSatellite Conceptual Design Multi-Objective Optimization Using Co Framework
This paper focuses upon the development of an efficient method for conceptual design optimization of a satellite. There are many option for a satellite subsystems that could be choice, as acceptable solution to implement of a space system mission. Every option should be assessment based on the different criteria such as cost, mass, reliability and technology contraint (complexity). In this rese...
متن کاملUsing DCOPs to Balance Exploration and Exploitation in Time-Critical Domains
Substantial work has investigated balancing exploration and exploitation, but relatively little has addressed this tradeoff in the context of coordinated multi-agent interactions. This paper introduces a class of problems in which agents must maximize their on-line reward, a decomposable function dependent on pairs of agent’s decisions. Unlike previous work, agents must both learn the reward fu...
