Abstract. We investigate the evolutionary processes behind the development and optimization of multiple threads of execution in digital organisms using the avida platform, a softwa...

We evolved multiple clones of populations of digital organisms to study the effects of chance, history, and adaptation in evolution. We show that clones adapted to a specific envir...
The Avida digital evolution platform is a software tool used to perform experimental evolution research with self-replicating computer programs ("digital organisms"). Av...
This paper introduces a theoretical approach of the construction of a self developing and adaptive artificial digital organism with huge remembrance and the ability of the interpr...
Adaptive responses to resource availability are common in natural systems. In this paper we explore one possible evolutionary cause of adaptive sleep/wake behavior. We subjected po...

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...

For centuries it was thought that bacteria live asocial lives. However, recent discoveries show many species of bacteria communicate in order to perform tasks previously thought t...
This paper describes a study of the evolution of robust communication, specifically the distribution of data among individuals in a population, using digital evolution. In digita...
