Emergent algorithms

Aller à la navigation Aller à la recherche

Algorithms implementing complex systems, i.e. bottom up approaches where independent entities interact locally resulting in a global emergent behavior. These comprise:

  • ant colony optimization
  • particle swarm optimization
  • evolutionary algorithms
  • more generally population based algorithms

Objectives encompass:

  • the ability to efficiently exploit multi-level massively parallel supercomputers (exascale and zetascale computing) on generic optimization problems
  • solving and optimizing complex problems (continuous, mixed, discrete NP-complete problems)
