This paper presents a survey of how these optimization algorithms have been applied in determining cooperative strategies for a team of soccer playing agents. The survey discusses the contributions made by researchers and makes an effort to map nature inspired optimization algorithms with the type of cooperative strategy evolved. A categorization of cooperative study is also presented specifically in the domain of RoboCup Soccer Simulation League where agents cooperate in a virtual environment to develop a strategy without any issue of physical wear and tear. This study would serve as a starting point for teams participating in RoboCup competitions to enhance their strategy utilizing ideas from nature inspired algorithms.","PeriodicalId":128949,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Advancements in Computational Sciences (ICACS)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123722989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many of those are not readable to the users; readability being the extent to which user can understand the content. This study is to evaluate the readability using the fuzzy logic values based on some evaluation Criteria/Attributes. The Criteria would be the basic needs or conditions that are to be fulfilled in content for it to be readable enough to average users. These may include characters per word, syllables per word, words per sentence, sentences per paragraph, number of hard words, sentence complexity, sub-headings, spacing, fonts, and colors used, etc. Readability assessment would be done by rating its quality with the values of linguistic variables (i.e., good, poor, or acceptable, etc.) provided with the conditions/rules/criteria as parameters to evaluate readability. However, the exact description of such attributes is to be on users' grade level and search engines' demands but still their distinction is subjective to be unclear. Hence we decided to use these as attributes to fuzzy logic for a better approximate confinement of partial correspondence of them with fuzzy rules.","PeriodicalId":128949,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Advancements in Computational Sciences (ICACS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114792206","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Multi-step solution algorithms, each solving a subnetwork or an entire network for specific time periods can be constructed. An example of using the workbench for gasoline blending is provided.","PeriodicalId":128949,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Advancements in Computational Sciences (ICACS)","volume":"358 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115984802","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
