Dafo, a Multi-agent Framework for Decomposable Functions Optimization
Abstract
This paper introduces Dafo, a new multi-agent framework for evolutionary optimization relying on a competitive coevolutionary genetic algorithm, aka LCGA (Loosely Coupled Genetic Algorithm). We describe our solution, discuss of the potential advantages of using an agent based approach and present some results on a real case study: i.e. Inventory Control Parameter (ICP) optimization problem.
