Abstract

Modern Industry 4.0 technologies face a challenge in dealing with billions of connected devices, petabyte-scale of generated data, and exponentially growing internet traffic. Artificial Intelligence and Evolutionary algorithms can resolve variety of large optimisation problems. Many methods employed in search for solutions often fall in stagnation or in unacceptable results, which reminds for classical dilemma exploration versus exploitations closely related with convergence and diversity of the explored solutions. This article reviews convergence and divergence centred algorithms and discuses synergy between convergence and divergence in adaptive heuristics.
