    A crisis management approach to mission survivability in computational multi-agent systems
    (Wydawnictwa AGH, 2010) Byrski, Aleksander; Kisiel-Dorohinicki, Marek; Carvalho, Marco
    In this paper we present a biologically-inspired approach for mission survivability (considered as the capability of fulfilling a task such as computation) that allows the system to be aware of the possible threats or crises that may arise. This approach uses the notion of resources used by living organisms to control their populations. We present the concept of energetic selection in agent-based evolutionary systems as well as the means to manipulate the configuration of the computation according to the crises or user's specific demands.

    Optimization of simulation model parameters for solidification of metals with use of agent-based evolutionary algorithm
    (Wydawnictwa AGH, 2008) Kluska-Nawarecka, Stanisława; Smolarek-Grzyb, Agnieszka; Byrski, Aleksander; Wilk-Kołodziejczyk, Dorota
    The finite elements method (FEM) is currently widely used for simulation of thermal processes. However, one of still unresolved problems remains proper selection of mathematical model parameters for these processes. As far as modelling of cooling casts in forms is concerned, particular difficulties appear while estimating values of numerous coefficients such as: heat transport coefficient between metal and form, specific heat, metal and form heat conduction coefficient, metal and form density. Coefficients mentioned above depend not only on materials properties but also on temperature. In the paper the idea of optimalization of simulation method parameters based on adaptive adjustment of curve representing sim­ulation result and result obtained in physical experiment is presented along with the idea of evolutionary and agent-based evolutionary optimization system designed to conduct such optimizations. Preliminary results obtained with use of ABAQUS system available in ACK CYFRONET and software developed at AGH-UST conclude the paper.
