Evolution of Emergent Cooperative Behavior using Genetic Programming

On Feasibility of Adaptive Level Hardware Evolution for Emergent Fault Tolerant Communication

A permanent physical fault in communication lines usually leads to a failure. The feasibility of evolution of a self organized communication is studied in this paper to defeat this problem. In this case a communication protocol may emerge between blocks and also can adapt itself to environmental changes like physical faults and defects. In spite of faults, blocks may continue to function since ...

Evolution of Subsumption Using Genetic Programming

1 . INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW The repetitive application of seemingly simple rules can lead to complex overall emergent behavior. Emergent functionality means that overall functionality is not achieved in the conventional tightly coupled, centrally controlled way, but, instead, indirectly by the interaction of relatively primitive components with the world and among themselves [Steels 1991]. Em...

Cooperative Advertising and Pricing in a Supply Chain: A Bi-level Programming Approach

Nowadays, coordination between members in a supply chain has become very important and beneficial to channel members. Through cooperative advertising, manufacturers and retailers can jointly participate in promotional programs. This action not only reduces the cost of advertising, but also is important to create a link with local retailers in order to increase immediate sales at the retail leve...

A Method for Solving Optimal Control Problems Using Genetic Programming

This paper deals with a novel method for solving optimal control problems based on genetic programming. This approach produces some trial solutions and seeks the best of them. If the solution cannot be expressed in a closed analytical form then our method produces an approximation with a controlled level of accuracy. Using numerical examples, we will demonstrate how to use the results.
