Developmental systems typically produce a phenotype through a generative process whose outcome depends on feedback from the environment. In most artificial developmental systems, ...
Recent work has provided functions that can be used to prove a principled distinction between the capabilities of mutation-based and crossover-based algorithms. However, prior fun...
This paper describes a study in the evolution of distributed cooperative behavior, specifically leader election, through digital evolution and group selection. In digital evoluti...

Existing metrics for dynamic optimisation are designed primarily to rate an algorithm’s overall performance. These metrics show whether one algorithm is better than another, but...
This paper explores connections between Ficici’s notion of solution concept and order theory. Ficici postulates that algorithms should ascend an order called weak preference; th...
