Abstract
Game Theory (GT) formalizes dispute scenarios between two or more players where each one makes a move following their strategy profiles. The following paper introduces the integration of GT to selection and crossover steps of Genetic Algorithms as an evolutionary model of the representation of population in a similar way to human social evolution. Two ideas are proposed to be incorporated into the GA. First, the Genetic Algorithm with Social Interaction (GASI), a family of GAs that uses GT in selection phase to increase the diversification of the solutions. Second, the (Game-Based Crossover) GBX and GBX2 crossover operators, competition-based tournament selection methods that employ social dispute to generate more diverse offspring. Performance and robustness of the new approaches were assessed by ten continuous and constrained engineering design optimization problems and compared against variants of the canonical GA, as well as well-known heuristics from the literature. Results indicate significant performance relevance in most instances compared to other algorithms and highlight the benefits of combining GT and GA.

Abstract
Automobile industry faces one of the most flexible productivity caused by the number of customized models variants due to the buyers needs. This fact requires the production system to introduce flexible, adaptable and cooperative with humans solutions. In the present work, a panel that should be mounted inside a van is addressed. For that purpose, a mobile manipulator is suggested that could share the same space with workers helping each other. This paper presents the navigation system for the robot that enters the van from the rear door after a ramp, operates and exits. The localization system is based on 3DOF methodologies that allow the robot to operate autonomously. Real tests scenarios prove the precision and repeatability of the navigation system outside, inside and during the ramp access of the van.

Abstract
This paper presents a study on dynamic line rating (DLR) forecasting procedure aimed at developing a new methodology able to forecast future ampacity values for rare and extreme events. This is motivated by the belief that to apply DLR network operators must be able to forecast their values and this must be based on conservative approaches able to guarantee the safe operation of the network. The proposed methodology can be summarised as follows: firstly, probabilistic forecasts of conductors' ampacity are calculated with a non-parametric model, secondly, the lower part of the distribution is replaced with a new distribution calculated with a parametric model. The paper presents also an evaluation of the proposed methodology in network operation, suggesting an application method and highlighting the advantages. The proposed forecasting methodology delivers a high improvement of the lowest quantiles' reliability, allowing perfect reliability for the 1% quantile and a reduction of roughly 75% in overconfidence for the 0.1% quantile.

Abstract
A highly versatile optimal task scheduling algorithm is proposed, inspired by Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm. The proposed algorithm is named "Dijkstra Optimal Tasking" (DOT) and is implemented in a generic manner allowing it to be applicable on a plethora of tasking problems In this study, the application of the proposed DOT algorithm is demonstrated for industrial setting in which a set of tasks must be performed by a mobile agent transiting between charging stations. The DOT algorithm is demonstrated by determining the optimal task schedule for the mobile agent which maximizes the speed of task achievement while minimizing the movement, and thereby energy consumption, cost. A discussion into the anticipated plethora of applications of this algorithm in different sectors is examined.

Abstract
To ensure interoperability and the correct behavior of heterogeneous distributed systems in key scenarios, it is important to conduct automated integration tests, based on distributed test components (called local testers) that are deployed close to the system components to simulate inputs from the environment and monitor the interactions with the environment and other system components. We say that a distributed test scenario is locally controllable and locally observable if test inputs can be decided locally and conformance errors can be detected locally by the local testers, without the need for exchanging coordination messages between the test components during test execution (which may reduce the responsiveness and fault detection capability of the test harness). DCO Analyzer is the first tool that checks if distributed test scenarios specified by means of UML sequence diagrams exhibit those properties, and automatically determines a minimum number of coordination messages to enforce them. The demo video for DCO Analyzer can be found at https://youtu.be/LVIusK36_bs.

Abstract
The use of robots to map disaster-stricken environments can prevent rescuers from being harmed when exploring an unknown space. In addition, mapping a multi-robot environment can help these teams plan their actions with prior knowledge. The present work proposes the use of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the construction of a topological map inspired by the way that bees build their hives. A UAV can map a honeycomb only if it is adjacent to a known one. Different metrics to choose the honeycomb to be explored were applied. At the same time, as UAVs scan honeycomb adjacencies, RGB-D and thermal sensors capture other data types, and then generate a 3D view of the space and images of spaces where there may be fire spots, respectively. Simulations in different environments showed that the choice of metric and variation in the number of UAVs influence the number of performed displacements in the environment, consequently affecting exploration time and energy use.
