Article:

This study explores to what extent Agent Based Systems (ABS) can handlemulti-criteria optimization problems. The implementation of ABS in the field ofoptimization has limitations to address multiple criteria in a continuousgeneration process due to ABS usually merge the perceived information in asingle response. To address this limitation, we increase the responsiveness of thesystems through a multiple production approach. This approach breaks down theproblem into two parts: the configuration through the interactions of the agents,and the overall performance through their local decisions. The method is testedin a case study of the network circulations of a park, optimizing the slope, viewsand sun. Performance and differentiation capabilities are evaluated inpopulations generated in two different scenarios. Data analysis methods verifythe effectiveness of the algorithm and quantify the influence of each parameter onthe final results.
