In order to maintain a reliable and economic electric power supply, the maintenance of power plants is becoming increasingly important. In this paper, a formulation that enables a...
This article describes a mathematical framework for characterizing cooperativity in complex systems subject to evolutionary pressures. This framework uses three foundational compo...
Assume a coevolutionary algorithm capable of storing and utilizing all phenotypes discovered during its operation, for as long as it operates on a problem; that is, assume an algo...
This paper presents a new method — the Time-delay Added Evolutionary Forecasting (TAEF) method — for time series prediction which performs an evolutionary search of the minimu...

We sketch a framework for learning structured coordinated behavior, specifically the tactical behavior of Experimental Unmanned Vehicles (XUVs). We conceptualize an XUV unit as a ...

This paper investigates the idea of having multiple swarms working separately and cooperating with each other to solve an optimization problem. Many factors that influence the be...
This paper investigates the effects of two different communication protocols within an artificial society, where communication and cooperation is necessary to survive. Communicat...
Building upon the interactive inversion method introduced by Ashburn and Bonabeau (2004), we show how to dramatically improve the results by exploiting modularity and by letting t...
This paper offers a novel approach to coevolution based on the sociological theory of symbolic interactionism. It provides a multi-agent computational model along with experimenta...
