A migration strategy of mobile agents for the transport network applications

Zgaya, Hayfa; Hammadi, Slim; Ghédira, Khaled - In: Mathematics and Computers in Simulation (MATCOM) 76 (2008) 5, pp. 345-362

This paper presents a migration strategy for a set of mobile agents (MAs) in order to satisfy customers’ requests in a transport network, through a multimodal information system. In this context, we propose an optimization solution which operates on two levels. The first one aims to constitute...

A genetic algorithm for the 1D electron gas

Stoico, César O.; Renzi, Danilo G.; Vericat, Fernando - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 387 (2008) 1, pp. 159-166

We show how to apply a genetic algorithm to describe the homogeneous electron gas. For simplicity we consider just the 1D case. The pair correlation function so obtained is compared with those found by using variational Monte Carlo and quantum hypernetted chain calculations and reported for the...

Multi-objective design of PV–wind–diesel–hydrogen–battery systems

Dufo-López, Rodolfo; Bernal-Agustín, José L. - In: Renewable Energy 33 (2008) 12, pp. 2559-2572

This paper presents, for the first time, a triple multi-objective design of isolated hybrid systems minimizing, simultaneously, the total cost throughout the useful life of the installation, pollutant emissions (CO2) and unmet load.

Just How (Un)realistic Are Evolutionary Algorithms As Representations of Social Processes?

Chattoe-Brown, Edmund - In: Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation 1 (1998) 3, pp. 2-2

papers in the field as case studies, discussing more and less successful uses of evolutionary algorithms in social science …This paper attempts to illustrate the importance of a coherent behavioural interpretation in applying evolutionary … algorithms like Genetic Algorithms and Genetic Programming to the modelling of social processes. It summarises and draws out the …

Niche search: an application to the Manhattan newspaper problem

PEDROSO, João Pedro - Center for Operations Research and Econometrics (CORE), … - 1997

In this paper we describe a hybrid strategy for solving combinatorial optimisation problems, obtained by coupling a local search method to an evolutionary algorithm, and we provide an application to the Manhattan newspaper problem. The local search method has been devised specifically for this...

Computational modeling of city formation

DeMaagd, Kurt; Moore, Scott - In: Computational Economics 30 (2007) 1, pp. 41-56

Although a burst of recent research in economics has examined how industries form, a majority of it considers highly simplified models. In this paper, we use computational modeling techniques to expand from traditional, simple, analytically tractable economic models to more complex two...

EMERGENCE OF COMPLEX STRATEGIES IN THE EVOLUTION OF CHESS ENDGAME PLAYERS

HAUPTMAN, AMI; SIPPER, MOSHE - In: Advances in Complex Systems (ACS) 10 (2007) su, pp. 35-59

We examine a strong chess-endgame player, previously developed by us through genetic programming, focusing on the player's emergent capabilities and tactics in the context of a chess match. First, we provide a detailed description of the evolutionary approach by which our player was developed....

Evolutionary Dynamics in Public Good Games

Clemens, Christiane; Riechmann, Thomas - In: Computational Economics 28 (2006) 4, pp. 399-420

This paper explores the question whether boundedly rational agents learn to behave optimally when asked to voluntarily contribute to a public good. The dynamic game is described by an Evolutionary Algorithm, which is shown to extend the applicability of ordinary replicator dynamics of...

Robust Evolutionary Algorithm Design for Socio-economic Simulation

Alkemade, Floortje; Poutré, Han; Amman, Hans - In: Computational Economics 28 (2006) 4, pp. 355-370

Agent-based computational economics (ACE) combines elements from economics and computer science. In this paper, we focus on the relation between the evolutionary technique that is used and the economic problem that is modeled. In the field of ACE, economic simulations often derive parameter...
