A Dynamical Systems Analysis of Collaboration Methods in Cooperative Co-evolution

Optimal Design and Rehabilitation of Water Distribution Networks using Evolutionary Computation Algorithms: a Literature Review

Cooperative Co-evolution generates interest with its ability to solve complex domains by breaking down the problem into subcomponents. To be used to the best effect, we must understand the performance of cooperative co-evolution under varying circumstances. This paper aims to further the understanding the capabilities of cooperative co-evolution by expanding the understanding of the effect of c...

Cooperative Co-Evolving Neural Networks for Robosoccer Simulation

An Analysis of A Fishing Model with Nonlinear Harvesting Function

In this study, considering the importance of how to exploit renewable natural resources, we analyzea shing model with nonlinear harvesting function in which the players at the equilibrium pointdo a static game with complete information that, according to the calculations, will cause a wasteof energy for both players and so the selection of cooperative strategies along with the...

Study of institutional Collaboration in the management Structure of the City Regions Case Study: Process of determining the city of Qazvin Growth boundaries.

This article is about the institutional collaboration in the management structure of a city-region. To achieve this purpose, corporate limits of Qazvin are studied as the city is becoming a region.  The possible institutional cooperative in the centralist governmental structure is planned based on the new regionalism theory and its governance pattern, new institutionalism theory and its emphas...

What Can Policy-Makers Get Out of Systems Thinking? Policy Partners’ Experiences of a Systems-Focused Research Collaboration in Preventive Health

Background There is increasing interest in using systems thinking to tackle ‘wicked’ policy problems in preventive health, but this can be challenging for policy-makers because the literature is amorphous and often highly theoretical. Little is known about how best to support health policy-makers to gain skills in understanding and applying systems thinking for policy action.  <br /...
