This letter uses a modified form of the NK model introduced to explore aspects of distributed control. In particular, a previous result suggesting the use of dynamically formed subgroups within the overall system can be more effective than global con...

A haploid-diploid evolutionary algorithm optimizing nanoparticle based cancer treatments (2022)
Book Chapter
Tsompanas, M., Bull, L., Adamatzky, A., & Balaz, I. (2022). A haploid-diploid evolutionary algorithm optimizing nanoparticle based cancer treatments. In I. Balaz, & A. Adamatzky (Eds.), Cancer, Complexity, Computation (237-251). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-04379-6_10

This paper uses a recent explanation for the fundamental haploid-diploid lifecycle of eukaryotic organisms to present a new evolutionary algorithm that differs from all previous known work using diploid representations. A form of the Baldwin effect h... Read More about A haploid-diploid evolutionary algorithm optimizing nanoparticle based cancer treatments.

Nonbinary representations in the NK and NKCS models (2022)
Journal Article
Bull, L. (2022). Nonbinary representations in the NK and NKCS models. Complex Systems -Champaign-, 31(1), 87-101. https://doi.org/10.25088/ComplexSystems.31.1.87

The NK model has been used widely to explore aspects of natural evolution and complex systems. Traditionally, the model has used a binary representation scheme. This paper introduces a modified form of the NK model through which to systematically exp... Read More about Nonbinary representations in the NK and NKCS models.
