Short and Long Term Memory in Coevolution

Games provide the perfect test bed for measuring the effectiveness of computer generated strategies in a competitive and fun environment. Over the years many different games have been tackled by researchers of computational intelligence with the purpose of creating an intelligent computer player that can challenge human players. In this paper the authors summarize the research performed over the past two years based on the game of Tempo, where the coevolved strategies were represented by logic rule bases with an adaptive memory. The experiments were set up to investigate the effectiveness of various memory structures in a coevolutionary game system, as well as the effectiveness of various recall processes.
