Artificial symbiogenesis and differing reproduction rates (2010)
Journal Article

Symbiosis is the phenomenon in which organisms of different species live together in close association. Symbiogenesis is the name given to the process by which symbiotic partners combine and unify. This letter reconsiders previous work using the NKCS... Read More about Artificial symbiogenesis and differing reproduction rates.

A spiking neural representation for XCSF (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper presents a Learning Classifier System (LCS) where each traditional rule is represented by a spiking neural network, a type of network with dynamic internal state. The evolutionary design process exploits parameter self-adaptation and a con... Read More about A spiking neural representation for XCSF.

Use of a connection-selection scheme in neural XCSF (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

XCSF is a modern form of Learning Classifier System (LCS) that has proven successful in a number of problem domains. In this paper we exploit the modular nature of XCSF to include a number of extensions, namely a neural classifier representation, sel...

Imitation programming (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Many nature-inspired mechanisms have been presented for computational design and optimization. This paper introduces a population-based approach inspired by a form of cultural learning - imitation. Imitation is typically defined as learning through t... Read More about Imitation programming.

Stochastic automated search methods in cellular automata: The discovery of tens of thousands of glider guns (2010)
Journal Article

This paper deals with the spontaneous emergence of glider guns in cellular automata. An evolutionary search for glider guns with different parameters is described and other search techniques are also presented to provide a benchmark. We demonstrate t...

Index permutations and classes of additive cellular automata rules with isomorphic STD (2010)
Journal Article

First we consider the question of identifying linear transformations that transform any additive CA rule into an additive CA rule with an isomorphic STD. A general condition is derived. Following on this, we consider a subclass of such transformation... Read More about Index permutations and classes of additive cellular automata rules with isomorphic STD.

On dynamical genetic programming: Simple Boolean networks in learning classifier systems (2009)
Journal Article

Many representations have been presented to enable the effective evolution of computer programs. Turing was perhaps the first to present a general scheme by which to achieve this end. Significantly, Turing proposed a form of discrete dynamical system... Read More about On dynamical genetic programming: Simple Boolean networks in learning classifier systems.

Genetic approaches to search for computing patterns in cellular automata (2009)
Journal Article

The emergence of collision based computing in complex systems with local interactions is discussed. Simulations of logic gates have been inspired by the simulation of an AND gate by the Game of Life. The evolutionary algorithm is also used to modify... Read More about Genetic approaches to search for computing patterns in cellular automata.

Computer music meets unconventional computing: Towards sound synthesis with in vitro neuronal networks (2009)
Journal Article

The feasibility of synthesizing sounds with hybrid wetware-silicon devices has been explored with the use of in vitro neuronal networks. The basics of culturing brain cells has been introduced while the procedures that has been established to stimula...
