The research sets the given goals: • Analyzing the distributed genetic programming algorithm and the experimental results of other researchers that attempt to set the optimal parameters of the algorithm. • Analyzing the swarm intelligence application techniques and possible solutions to adapt them for governing the migration parameters of the distributed GP. • Choosing the most suitable swarm intelligence algorithm and blending both distributed GP and swarm intelligence algorithms together to control migration at GP algorithm runtime. • Creating an implementation of the proposed method and using it to generate programs automatically for simple tasks with known optimal solutions. • Examining the influence the swarm management rules make to the genetic programming algorithm and comparing it with the dynamics of the particle swarm that is led by similar rules. Also comparing the processes in the improved genetic programming algorithm and the ones of the GP algorithm with optimal manually chosen parameters of distribution. • Collecting the empirical results about the performance of the distributed GP algorithm with adaptive migration control andcomparing them with the performance of standard genetic programming and distributed GP algorithms. Conclusions about the applicability and perspectives of the new migration control method will be drawn based on the results of the assembled results. |
