Abstract :
The paper presents a cooperative heuristic search approach for combinatorial global optimization problems using mobile local search agents, mobile boundary search agents and two static coordinator agents. Mobile agents are adaptable and robust although they are not very sociable. Coordinator agents are applicable for initial arrangements and final reports
