Solving Large-Scale Multipoint Lighting Design Problem Using Multi-Agent Environment

Abstract:

In the paper we focus on the problem of large-scale distribution of lighting points. Its solution is constrained by economic issues like power consumption or exploitation costs and, on the other side, by the computational complexity of design process. Multi-agent computational environment combined with graph and hypergraph representations of a problem allow meeting design requirements and objectives and, on the other hand, make the method applicable for large systems for which computational effectiveness is a crucial factor.
