Subject: | Re: [Swarm-Modelling] Is there such a thing as approximate optimization? |

How should I refer to a decision-making approach in which agents make a rough-but-realistic approximation of the outcome of each decision alternative and then select the alternative with the best approximated outcome?-------------------------------------------------
Is there already a term for this approach? Can you call it approximate optimization? Or optimal approximation?
The term "constrained optimization" is often used; is there a precedent for applying it to this approach?
