Mechanisms of Emergent Computation in Cellular Automata
Abstract. We introduce a class of embedded-particle models for describing the emergent computational strategies observed in cellular automata (CAs) that were evolved for performing...

Solving Binary Constraint Satisfaction Problems Using Evolutionary Algorithms with an Adaptive Fitness Function
This paper presents a comparative study of Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) for Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs). We focus on EAs where fitness is based on penalization of cons...
