New Metabolic Multi-Agent Optimizer (MMAO) framework introduced

Researchers have introduced the Metabolic Multi-Agent Optimizer (MMAO), a novel optimization framework that draws adaptation from an internal resource loop. Unlike traditional methods that rely on fixed parameters and external controls, MMAO agents possess internal energy, role states, and search histories, while also drawing from a shared resource pool. The framework converts fitness improvements into metabolic gains to regulate various search behaviors, including sensing intensity, search amplitude, and agent respawning. MMAO has been tested on continuous and discrete optimization problems, demonstrating its capability as a parameter-light, self-calibrating system. AI

IMPACT Introduces a novel approach to optimization that could enhance the efficiency and adaptability of AI systems in complex problem-solving scenarios.

    MMAO: A Metabolic Multi-Agent Optimizer with Endogenous Resource Allocation for Continuous and Discrete Optimization

    Traditional meta-heuristics often rely on fixed population sizes, manually chosen search scales, and externally attached parameter-control modules. This paper presents the \textit{Metabolic Multi-Agent Optimizer} (MMAO), a cross-domain optimization framework in which adaptation i…
