Abstract. Distributed cooperative applications (e.g., e-commerce) are now increasingly being designed as a set of autonomous entities, named agents, which interact and coordinate (...
In order to show that the parallel co-evolution of di erent heuristic methods may lead to an e cient search strategy, we have hybridized three heuristic agents of complementary beh...
Improvements in the software development process depend on our ability to collect and analyze data drawn from various phases of the development life cycle. Our design metrics rese...
There is growing interest in multi-robot frequency-based patrolling, in which a team of robots optimizes its frequency of point visits, for every point in a target work area. In p...
While recent attempts to search a conceptual software engineering design search space with multi-objective evolutionary algorithms have yielded promising results, the practical ap...
