A Language for Platform Independent Communication and Storage in Multiobjective Optimisation

In real-world multiobjective optimisation, where\ problem complexity is typically high, systems are\ increasingly reliant on distributed computation to\ reduce processing times. While a number of successful\ distributed techniques have been proposed, they are\ dependent on high degrees of commonality between\ communicating processes - requiring homogeneity with\ respect to platform, environment or implementation\ language. Such constraints seriously restrict the\ applicability of distributed optimisers. Consequently, it\ is important to define a standard independent language\ for the transmission and storage of agent data in\ disparate interacting systems. Based on XML, MOO_ML\ represents such a language.
