Abstract

See full text

Described are methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for optimizing solutions using local attractive and/or repulsive virtual forces. In one aspect, a first virtual force is defined that is associated with an attractive characteristic and has a weighting parameter. A second virtual force is defined that is associated with a repulsive characteristic and has a weighting parameter. A detected virtual force is received that includes the first virtual force, the second virtual force, or a combination thereof. At an element associated with receiving the detected virtual force, a path is selected from a plurality of available paths based on the detected virtual force.
