On the Baldwin effect (1999)
Journal Article

In this article the effects of altering the rate and amount of learning on the Baldwin effect are examined. Using a version of the abstract tunable NK model, it is shown that the adaptation process is sensitive to the rate of learning, particularly a... Read More about On the Baldwin effect.

On the evolution of multicellularity and eusociality (1999)
Journal Article

In this article versions of the abstract NKC model are used to examine the conditions under which two significant evolutionary phenomena - multicellularity and eusociality - are likely to occur and why. First, comparisons in evolutionary performance... Read More about On the evolution of multicellularity and eusociality.

Design of a traffic junction controller using classifier system and fuzzy logic (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 1999. Traffic control in laige cities is a difficult and non-trivial optimization problem. Most of the automated urban traffic control systems aie based on deterministic algorithms and have a multi-level architectu...

Coevolutionary computation: an introduction (1998)
Journal Article

Agent technology is synonymous with advanced computer software and a growing body of work exists on the use of adaptive techniques within the agent paradigm (eg [Kozierok & Maes 1993]). The distributed and/or multi-faceted nature of complex problem d... Read More about Coevolutionary computation: an introduction.

Evolutionary computing in multi-agent environments: Operators (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper examines a key aspect of applying evolutionary computing techniques to multi-agent systems: a comparison in the performance of the genetic operators of mutation and recombination. Using the tuneable NKC model of multi-agent evolution it is... Read More about Evolutionary computing in multi-agent environments: Operators.

On ZCS in multi-agent environments (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper examines the performance of the ZCS Michigan-style classifier system in multi-agent environments. Using an abstract multi-agent model the effects of varying aspects of the performance, reinforcement and discovery components are examined. I... Read More about On ZCS in multi-agent environments.

A corporate classifier system (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Based on the proposals of Wilson and Goldberg we introduce a macro-level evolutionary operator which creates structural links between rules in the ZCS model and thus forms "corporations" of rules within the classifier system population. Rule co-depen... Read More about A corporate classifier system.
