A variable size mechanism of distributed graph programs and its performance evaluation in agent control problems

作者：

Highlights：

• Distributed structures are used to create graph-based programs.

• Variable size mechanism of the distributed structures is proposed.

• The sizes of the structures are optimized by the proposed evolutionary algorithm.

• The simulations in multiagent environments show some advantages.
