Sub-swarms

[Marcus Vinicius Pereira Pessoa]

Hi all,

I’m trying to call swarms within a swarm. I’m making an application in
which I will evolve a group strategy. In a model similar to hello-world,
I will use a variation from Merelo’s GA lib. So I have some questions:

1) How can I call a whole application via the main-ModelSwarm?

2) From which sub-ObserverSwarm method can I receive a parameter back?

3) Will the matter previously discussed, about problems with the
schedule, have any influence in the model?

I think that the evaluation function will be something like:

float evalFunc( id<Chromosome> a ) {

  int argc;
  char ** argv;
  PplObserverSwarm * observerSwarm;

  initSwarm(argc, argv);

  observerSwarm = [PplObserverSwarm create: globalZone];
  [observerSwarm buildObjects: a];              //here I’m passing the group of
agents
  [observerSwarm buildActions];
  [observerSwarm activateIn: nil];
  [observerSwarm go];


  return "evaluated value";                     //a value must return
}

Thanks in advance,

Vinicius.
