Résumé : Prior research has shown that the optimization algorithm is an integral part of the automatic modular off-line design of control software for robot swarms and can have great influence on the quality of the control software produced. In this paper we investigate, whether a stochastic local search metaheuristic—simulated annealing—can be used as the optimization algorithm in the automatic modular design of robot swarms. The results indicate that simulated annealing is indeed a viable candidate. Additionally, we investigate the influence of some obvious variations of simulated annealing on the performance of the automatic modular design.
