Abstract Wherever we see life, we see different kinds of complex networks, reason why they are studied across various fields of science. Random Boolean Networks (RBNs) form a spe...
When an ant colony needs to find a new nest, scouts are sent out to evaluate the suitability of potential sites, particularly their size. It has been suggested that ant scouts of L...

Abstract. This paper reports on the proof-of-concept work to produce an energetically autonomous robot employing an artificial metabolic system using Microbial Fuel Cells. The pres...
We demonstrate a simple artificial chemistry environment in which two small evolutionary transitions from the simplest self-replicators to larger ones are observed. The replicator...
This paper proposes an evolutionary-game-theory model, called meta-evolutionary game dynamics, for studying the dynamics of rules and individual behaviour. Although there are two g...
Coevolutionary optimisation suffers from a series of problems that interfere with the progressive escalating arms races that are hoped might solve difficult classes of optimisatio...
Abstract. We do not attempt to provide yet another definition of selforganization, but explore the conditions under which we can model a system as self-organizing. These involve th...
This paper presents results from a number of experiments within the area of competitive co-evolutionary robotics. The focus in these experiments has been on ‘co-evolving’ parts...
Abstract. We propose the use of Deterministic Generalized Asynchronous Random Boolean Networks [1] as models of contextual deterministic discrete dynamical systems. We show that ch...
In this paper we consider a multi-cellular sensing and communication network, embedded in an ageless aerospace vehicle, that is expected to detect and react to impact location, int...
