Symbiosis, the collaboration of multiple organisms from different species, is common in nature. A related phenomenon, symbiogenesis, the creation of new species through the genetic...
This paper describes a study in the use of digital evolution to produce cooperative communication behavior in a population of digital organisms. The results demonstrate that digita...

One major criticism of direct or active perception (and other forms of embodied action) from the perspective of cognitive psycology is that, according to common sense, there are so...
Our agent-based model of genotype editing is defined by two distinct genetic components: a coding portion encoding phenotypic solutions, and a non-coding portion used to edit the ...
Abstract. A coarse-coding regulatory model that facilitates neural heterogeneity through a morphogenetic process is presented. The model demonstrates cellular and tissue extensibil...

Abstract. Some research works have mentioned the similarity of autopoiesis with (M,R) systems proposed by Rosen, from the perspective of closedness of the systems. However, there a...
In this paper1 , we introduce a method, Assortative Preferential Attachment, to grow a scale-free network with a given assortativeness value. Utilizing this method, we investigate ...

Abstract. Evolutionary robotics simulations can serve as a tool to clarify counterintuitive or dynamically complex aspects of sensorimotor behaviour. We present a series of simulat...
Abstract. In this paper we present an extension of the ShapeBugs distributed formation algorithm which enables 2D mobile agents to agree on a consensus coordinate system starting f...
The paper investigates the role of an affective system as part of an ethologically-inspired action-selection mechanism for virtual animals in a 3D interactive graphics environment....
