GACS, an evolutionary approach to the spatial coordination of agents

Our approach to the spatial coordination problem relies on parametrized force fields. Through a quantitative comparison on a complex spatial coordination problem treated with a similar approach by Balch and Hybinette, we show that our system, GACS, finds a population of solutions as efficient as the ones found through an evolutionary optimisation of their handcrafted solution. Moreover GACS generates simpler solutions and requires much less involvement from the designer.
