Efficient and Efficacious Metaheuristics and Simulation Research Group
This team’s inception can be traced back to 2013; it specializes in developing innovative computational algorithms – particularly metaheuristics (including agent-based ones) and simulations (based on cellular automata and agent-based simulation algorithms). They consider not only their effectiveness but also their efficiency – particularly in terms of their high scalability on supercomputers. The team members often employ unconventional technologies (e.g., functional languages, actor models) and utilize the infrastructure of ACK Cyfronet AGH to support their scientific research. The team is open to both national and international collaboration and enthusiastically include interested students and doctoral candidates in their work.
