The Swarm Application Framework

چکیده
The Swarm Application Framework (SAF) is a tool that makes the development of swarm applications more intuitive. Traditionally, swarm applications are created by programming several low-level rules. This approach leads to several problems in designing and testing swarms, which serve as inspiration for the features of SAF. SAF encourages a new paradigm for designing swarm applications: engineers can interact with a swarm at the abstract (swarm) level instead of the individual (agent) level. In this paper, we discuss the design of the framework, how agents and rules in SAF operate, and a planned rule abstraction feature.

Control of Artificial Swarms with DDDAS
A framework for incorporating a swarm intelligent system with the Dynamic Data Driven Application System (DDDAS) is presented. Swarm intelligent systems, or artificial swarms, self-organize into useful emergent structures that are capable of solving complex problems, but are difficult to control and predict. The DDDAS concept utilizes repeated simulations of an executing application to improve ...
متن کاملApplication of CACS approach for distributed logistic systems
The article offers original approach which is called Controller Agent for Constraints Satisfaction (CACS). That approach combines multi-agent architecture with constraint solvers in the unified framework which expresses major features of Swarm Intelligence approach and replaces traditional stochastic adaptation of the swarm of the autonomous agents by constraint-driven adaptation. We describe m...
متن کاملAudio Watermarking Framework Using Multi-objective Particle Swarm Optimization
Aiming at the multi-objective essence of optimal audio watermarking problem, we propose a novel audio watermarking framework in this paper, which can optimally balance all conflicting objectives of the problem, fidelity and robustness against different attacks. In the proposed framework, a multi-objective particle swarm optimization technique based on fitness sharing is applied to search optima...
متن کاملA FAST FUZZY-TUNED MULTI-OBJECTIVE OPTIMIZATION FOR SIZING PROBLEMS
The most recent approaches of multi-objective optimization constitute application of meta-heuristic algorithms for which, parameter tuning is still a challenge. The present work hybridizes swarm intelligence with fuzzy operators to extend crisp values of the main control parameters into especial fuzzy sets that are constructed based on a number of prescribed facts. Such parameter-less particle ...
