The Application of Agent-Based Co-Evolutionary System with Predator-Prey Interactions to Solving Multi-Objective Optimization Problems

The realization of co- evolutionary interactions in evolutionary algorithms results in increased population diversity and speciation. General model of co-evolution in multi-agent system allows for modeling and realization of agent-based co-evolutionary systems in which many species and sexes may exist and interact. In this paper one exemplary agent-based system with predator-prey mechanism is presented. The results from experiments with various multi-objective test problems conclude the paper
