Agent-Based Natural Domain Modeling for Cooperative Continuous Optimization

Abstract

While multi-agent systems have been successfully applied to combinatorial optimization, very few works concern their applicability to continuous optimization problems. In this article we propose a framework for modeling a continuous optimization problems as multi-agent system,which we call NDMO, by representing the problem as an agent graph, and complemented with optimization solving behaviors. Some of the results we obtained with our implementation on several continuous optimization problems are presented.
