Self-Adaptive Surrogate-Assisted Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy

Ilya Loshchilov

This paper presents a novel mechanism to adapt surrogate-assisted population-based algorithms. This mechanism is applied to ACM-ES, a recently proposed surrogate-assisted variant of CMA-ES. The resulting algorithm, saACM-ES, adjusts online the lifelength o ...

Distributed Particle Swarm Optimization for Limited Time Adaptation in Autonomous Robots

Alcherio Martinoli, Ezequiel Leonardo Di Mario

Evaluative techniques offer a tremendous potential for on-line controller design. However, when the optimization space is large and the performance metric is noisy, the time needed to properly evaluate candidate solutions becomes prohibitively large and, a ...

Knowledge-based design space exploration of wireless sensor networks

David Atienza Alonso, Ivan Beretta

The complexity of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) has been constantly increasing over the last decade, and the necessity of efficient CAD tools has been growing accordingly. In fact, the size of the design space of a WSN has become large, and an exploratio ...

Simulation based Approach for Agents Synthesis in Large-Scale Urban Systems Modelling

Michel Bierlaire, Gunnar Flötteröd, Bilal Farooq, Ricardo Daniel Hurtubia González

Microsimulation of urban transportation and land use evolution require base year, individual characteristics and disaggregate locations of the households and persons living in the study area. On the other hand, mainly due to privacy reasons, at best the ce ...

Decentralized Resource Assignment in Cognitive Networks Based on Swarming Mechanisms Over Random Graphs

Ali H. Sayed

This paper proposes a distributed resource assignment strategy for cognitive networks mimicking a swarm foraging mechanism, assuming that the communication among the cognitive nodes is impaired by random link failures and quantization noise. Using results ...

Integrated schedule planning with supply-demand interactions for a new generation of aircrafts

Michel Bierlaire, Matteo Salani, Bilge Atasoy

We present an integrated schedule planning model where the decisions of schedule design, fleeting and pricing are made simultaneously. Pricing is integrated through a logit demand model where itinerary choice is modeled by defining the utilities of the alt ...

DUCT: An upper confidence bound approach to distributed constraint optimization problems

Boi Faltings, Christos Dimitrakakis, Brammert Ottens

The Upper Confidence Bounds (UCB) algorithm is a well-known near-optimal strategy for the stochastic multi-armed bandit problem. Its extensions to trees, such as the Upper Confidence Tree (UCT) algorithm, have resulted in good solutions to the problem of G ...

A new formulation of the two-dimensional cutting-stock problem with consideration of demand planning

Naoufel Cheikhrouhou, Omar Ayadi

This paper focuses on the two dimensional rectangular non-oriented guillotine cutting stock problem (TDRCSP) in which many pieces with different dimensions need to be cut with different quantities in order to satisfy customers' orders. In order to maximise ...
