Abstract
ACODA is a distributed framework for Ant Colony Optimization based on multi-agent middleware. ACODA is heavily using agent message passing, so communication costs are quite high. In this paper we formulate the minimizing of communication costs in ACODA as a mathematical optimization problem. We propose its solution using Simulated Annealing. The paper contains our initial experimental results and conclusions.
This work was partially supported by the multilateral agreement on academic cooperation in 2012 between Serbia (Novi Sad), Romania (Craiova), and Poland (Warsaw and Gdansk) on “Agent Technologies, Tools, Environments, Applications”. This paper is an extended version of our previous paper [1].
