Societal Implicit Memory and his Speed on Tracking Extrema over Dynamic Environments using Self-Regulatory Swarms
Vitorino Ramos, Carlos Fernandes, Agostinho C. Rosa

TL;DR
This paper introduces a Self-Regulated Swarm (SRS) algorithm that combines swarm intelligence and evolutionary mechanisms to improve dynamic optimization and environment extrema tracking, demonstrating superior adaptive speed and accuracy.
Contribution
The paper presents a novel SRS algorithm that integrates societal environmental memory with self-regulation, enhancing dynamic extrema tracking performance over existing methods.
Findings
SRS outperforms standard GAs, BFOA, and co-evolutionary approaches in speed and accuracy.
SRS can track about 65% of moving peaks traveling up to ten times faster than individual agents.
The approach demonstrates quick adaptive responses and robust behavior in complex dynamic environments.
Abstract
In order to overcome difficult dynamic optimization and environment extrema tracking problems, We propose a Self-Regulated Swarm (SRS) algorithm which hybridizes the advantageous characteristics of Swarm Intelligence as the emergence of a societal environmental memory or cognitive map via collective pheromone laying in the landscape (properly balancing the exploration/exploitation nature of our dynamic search strategy), with a simple Evolutionary mechanism that trough a direct reproduction procedure linked to local environmental features is able to self-regulate the above exploratory swarm population, speeding it up globally. In order to test his adaptive response and robustness, we have recurred to different dynamic multimodal complex functions as well as to Dynamic Optimization Control problems, measuring reaction speeds and performance. Final comparisons were made with standard…
