چکیده

This paper investigates the behaviour of the Evolvable Agent model (EvAg) in static and dynamic environments. The EvAg is a spatially structured Genetic Algorithm (GA) designed to work on Peer-toPeer (P2P) systems in which the population structure is a small-world graph built by newscast, a P2P protocol. Additionally to the profits in computing performance, EvAg maintains genetic diversity at the smallworld relationships between individuals in a sort of social network. Experiments were conducted in order to assess how EvAg scales on deceptive and non-deceptive trap functions. In addition, the proposal was tested on dynamic environments. The results show that the EvAg scales and adapts better to dynamic environments than a standard GA and an improved version of the well-known Random Immigrants Genetic Algorithm.

A Framework for Adapting Population-Based and Heuristic Algorithms for Dynamic Optimization Problems

In this paper, a general framework was presented to boost heuristic optimization algorithms based on swarm intelligence from static to dynamic environments. Regarding the problems of dynamic optimization as opposed to static environments, evaluation function or constraints change in the time and hence place of optimization. The subject matter of the framework is based on the variability of the ...

Introducing a new meta-heuristic algorithm based on See-See Partridge Chicks Optimization to solve dynamic optimization problems

The SSPCO (See-See Particle Chicks Optimization) is a type of swarm intelligence algorithm derived from the behavior of See-See Partridge. Although efficiency of this algorithm has been proven for solving static optimization problems, it has not yet been tested to solve dynamic optimization problems. Due to the nature of NP-Hard dynamic problems, this algorithm alone is not able to solve such o...
