Ant Colony Optimization applied to the Multi-Agent Patrolling Problem
Patrolling an environment involves a team of agents whose goal usually consists of continuously visiting its most relevant areas as frequently as possible. For such a task, agents have to coordinate their actions in order to achieve optimal performance. Current research that tackles this complex multi-agent problem usually de nes the environment as a graph, so that a wide range of applications ...
متن کاملAnt Colony Optimization for Multi-objective Digital Convergent Product Network
Convergent product is an assembly shape concept integrating functions and sub-functions to form a final product. To conceptualize the convergent product problem, a web-based network is considered in which a collection of base functions and sub-functions configure the nodes and each arc in the network is considered to be a link between two nodes. The aim is to find an optimal tree of functionali...
متن کاملMulti-Agent Based Patient Scheduling Using Ant Colony Optimization
With the advent of Agent Technology, and challenges facing the health care sector as a result of scarcity of both medical personnel and resources and also the distributive and complex nature of the activities in the medical domain, there is need to use the new programming paradigm in order to come up with robust and reliable system that will solve problems bedeviling the health care sector espe...
متن کاملMulti-caste Ant Colony Optimization Algorithms
In this paper we present a multi-caste ant colony optimization approach, where each caste has its own set of parameters. Two variants are proposed: in the first, the composition of the castes remains fixed throughout the optimization, whilst the other allows ants to move from one caste to another. Results obtained in several traveling salesperson problem instances reveal that the adoption of a ...
متن کاملA Multi-Agent Approach to Distributed Rendering Optimization
Physically based rendering is the process of generating a 2D image from the abstract description of a 3D Scene. Despite the development of various new techniques and algorithms, the computational requirements of generating photorealistic images still do not allow to render in real time. Moreover, the configuration of good render quality parameters is very difficult and often too complex to be d...
