Software evolution and the moving picture metaphor
Software systems evolve over time. Currently we do not do a good job of documenting this evolution. This essay discusses the need to better document software evolution and introdu...

Understanding Linguistic Evolution by Visualizing the Emergence of Topographic Mappings
We show how cultural selection for learnability during the process of linguistic evolution can be visualized using a simple iterated learning model. Computational models of linguis...

Evolution-Based Discovery of Hierarchical Behaviors
Procedural representations of control policies have two advantages when facing the scale-up problem in learning tasks. First they are implicit, with potential for inductive genera...

Empirical Evidence for SOC Dynamics in Software Evolution
We examine eleven large open source software systems and present empirical evidence for the existence of fractal structures in software evolution. In our study, fractal structures...

The emergent computational potential of evolving artificial living systems
The computational potential of artificial living systems can be studied without knowing the algorithms that govern their behavior. Modeling single organisms by means of socalled c...
