Against this background, we introduce a simulation based online planning algorithm, that we call SiCLOP, for multi-agent cooperative environments.

The main characteristic of these algorithms is that they maintain a population of candidate solutions of a given problem and use this population to cover a large area of the search space and to avoid local-optima.

Evolutionary optimization is a generic population-based metaheuristic that can be adapted to solve a wide variety of optimization problems and has proven very effective for combinatorial optimization problems.
