RODRIGUEZ, DAVID; DARGHAN, ENRIQUE  and  MONROY, JULIO. A Multi-Agent Proposal for the Resolution of BIBD Instances. Rev.Colomb.Estad. [online]. 2016, vol.39, n.2, pp.267-280. ISSN 0120-1751.  https://doi.org/10.15446/rce.v39n2.52838.

The problem with designing balanced incomplete blocks (BIBD) is enclosed within the combinatorial optimization approach that has been extensively used in experimental design. The present proposal addresses this problem by using local search techniques known as Hill Climbing, Tabu Search, and an approach based considerable sized the use of Multi-Agents, which allows the exploration of diverse areas of search spaces. Furthermore, the use of a vector vision for the consideration associated with vicinity is presented. The experimental results prove the advantage of this technique compared to other proposals that are reported in the current literature.

Keywords : Balanced incomplete block design; Vector process; Computer search; Experimental design.
