Interesting Links

I came across an interesting blog on metaheuristics by Johann Dréo called "Dreaming of Metaheuristsics". It is new so there is not much content yet, although there are some interesting posts on swarm related research in particular the one on ACO authorship (Dan!).

I also came across some interesting work on evolving flying creatures with path following behaviour in a 3D environment, includes a brief and link to the paper "Evolving Flying Creatures with Path Following Behaviors" (2006?). There is further information and publications about this work on Yoon Sik Shim’s homepage.

Finally I have uploaded new versions of the function optimisation and combinatorial optimisation software, so check them out. The major additions to both are different versions of Population-based ACO approaches thanks to Dan.

jase.
