Evolved Bayesian Network models of rig operations in the gulf of Mexico
The operation of drilling rigs is highly expensive. It is therefore important to be able to identify and analyse variables affecting rig operations. We investigate the use of Genet...

Automatic Tuning of Agent-Based Models Using Genetic Algorithms
When developping multi-agent systems (MAS) or models in the context of agent-based simulation (ABS), the tuning of the model constitutes a crucial step of the design process. Inde...
