A bi-subpopulation coevolutionary immune algorithm for multi-objective combinatorial optimization in multi-UAV task allocation by Xi Chen, Yu Wan, Jingtao Qi, Zipeng Zhao, Yirun Ruan, Jun Tang

“…The two coevolutionary mechanisms improve the lower limit of population diversity, and the evolutionary strategy pool integrating multiple strategies and the adaptive strategy selection mechanism enhance the local search ability in the late evolution. In the experiments, BCIA competes fairly with the mainstream multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs), multi-objective immune algorithms (MOIAs) and the recently proposed multi-UAV mission planning algorithms. …”
