Abstract

This work presents some additional mechanisms for Evolutionary Multi-Agent Systems for Multiobjective Optimisation trying to solve problems with population stagnation and loss of diversity. Those mechanisms reward solutions located in a less crowded neighborhood and on edges of the frontier. Both techniques have been described and also some preliminary results have been shown.
