On the evolution of multicellularity and eusociality (1999)
Journal Article
Bull, L. (1999). On the evolution of multicellularity and eusociality. Artificial Life, 5(1), 1-15. https://doi.org/10.1162/106454699568656

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)
Journal Article

Evolutionary computing in multi-agent environments: Operators (1998)
Conference Proceeding
Bull, L. (1998). Evolutionary computing in multi-agent environments: Operators. In V. W. Porto, N. Saravanan, D. Waagen, & A. E. Eiben (Eds.), In EP 1998: Evolutionary Programming VII. , (43-52). https://doi.org/10.1007/BFb0040758

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)
Conference Proceeding
Bull, L. (1998). On ZCS in multi-agent environments. In A. Eiben, T. Bäck, M. Schoenauer, & H. Schwefel (Eds.), Parallel Problem Solving from Nature—PPSN V. , (471-480). https://doi.org/10.1007/BFb0056889

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)
Conference Proceeding
Tomlinson, A., & Bull, L. (1998). A corporate classifier system. In A. E. Eiben, T. Bäck, M. Schoenauer, & H. Schwefel (Eds.), Parallel Problem Solving from Nature—PPSN V. , (550-559). https://doi.org/10.1007/BFb0056897

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.
