Direct and Indirect Representations for Evolutionary Design of Objects
Abstract. We follow up on the work of Ebner[1] in studying representations for evolutionary design of objects. We adopt both the method and the simulation framework, and perform mo...

The Cooperative Royal Road: Avoiding Hitchhiking
We propose using the so called Royal Road functions as test functions for cooperative co-evolutionary algorithms (CCEAs). The Royal Road functions were created in the early 90’s ...

Minimal and Necessary Conditions for the Emergence of Species-Specific Recognition Patterns
A simple mechanism is presented for the emergence of recognition patterns that are used by individuals to find each other and mate. The genetic component determines the brain of an...

An Evolutionary Algorithm for the Block Stacking Problem
Abstract. How has a stack of n blocks to be arranged in order to maximize its overhang over a table edge while being stable? This question can be seen as an example application for...

A Principled Approach to Swarm-Based Wall-Building
Abstract. In this paper, we apply a theoretical swarm-generating technique to a system implementing cluster-based construction. The technique, known as swarm engineering consists o...
