Resumo: In this paper, we propose a formulation of the optimization problem as a clustering task, which has the potential of allowing an interchange between approaches belonging to both fields of research and may also allow a straightforward treatment of multimodal scenarios. The proposal is tested using the classical k-means algorithm and a particle swarm algorithm as an accessory tool, and the results indicate the relevance of the clustering-based formulation in terms of search space exploration capability.
