文摘

A new multi-agent framework for process systems engineering problems. Based on efficient ant colony algorithm. A generalized framework for linear, nonlinear, mixed integer, convex, and non-convex optimization problems. A real world computer aided molecular design study for solvent selection problem in chemical industry. Better solutions than found by mathematical programming and stochastic optimization algorithms so far.
