To look for an answer to the puzzle of why complexity may increase, this paper looks to the major evolutionary transitions – a recurring pattern where individuals give up their r...
The transition from unicellular to multicellular organisms is one of the mysteries of evolutionary biology. Individual cells must give up their rights to reproduction and reproduce...
This research investigates an evolutionary approach to engineering agent collectives that accomplish tasks cooperatively. In general, reproduction and selection form the two corner...
To support rapid software evolution, it is desirable to construct software systems from reusable components. In this approach, the architecture of a system is described as a collec...
The paper presents a schema repository, an original repository containing different kinds of database schemas. The repository is part of a multidisciplinary approach for schema ev...
