Abstract: This paper explores the ability of a virtual team of specialized strategic software agents to cooperate and evolve to adaptively search an optimization design space. Our goal is to demonstrate ...

Abstract: Cooperation and reward of strategic agents in an evolutionary optimization framework is explored in order to better solve engineering design problems. Agents in this Evolutionary Multi-Agent Systems ...

Abstract: Many heuristic optimization approaches have been developed to combat the ever-increasing complexity of engineering problems. In general, these approaches can be classified based on the diversity ...
