Towards Development in Evolvable Hardware

چکیده
Mapping between genotype and phenotype using a model of biological development has been widely touted as a technique for evolving solutions to large, complex problems [1-3]. Here we describe two test-bed developmental systems for evolvable hardware problems, and compare each to a naive mapping system. We find that designing evolvable developmental systems is not a trivial problem, however early analysis of the evolved structures demonstrates the potential of the generative processes behind development. We also account for the differences between the results of the two systems, highlighting the importance of search space evolvability over size.

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 ...
متن کاملTowards Evolvable IP Cores for FPGAs
The paper deals with a new approach to the design of adaptive hardware using common Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA). The ultimate aim is to develop evolvable IP (Intellectual Property) cores. The cores should be reused in the same way as ordinary IP cores are reused. In contrast to the conventional cores, the evolvable cores are able to perform autonomous evolution of their internal circu...
متن کاملThe Importance of Reuse and Development in Evolvable Hardware
Reuse will become increasingly important as larger digital and analog circuits are created by the techniques of the field of evolvable hardware. This paper discusses the ways by which genetic programming can facilitate reuse and the associated advantages of using a developmental process.
متن کاملAn Implementation of a Morphogenetic Evolvable Hardware System
Traditional approaches to evolvable hardware (EHW), using a direct encoding, have not scaled well with increases in problem complexity. To overcome this there have been moves towards encoding a growth process, however there has not been a great deal of success with these. In this paper we present a morphogenetic EHW system that uses a variable length chromosome on which a gene expression model ...
متن کاملEvolvable Hardware a New Approach for Control Design TATIANE JESUS DE CAMPOS JOSÉ RAIMUNDO DE OLIVEIRA
Evolvable hardware (EHW) is a technique introduced to automatically design circuits where the circuit configuration is carried out by evolutionary algorithms. This paper shows that the evolutionary approach can discover the concept and learning behavior of the control systems. The system tested is a nonlinear pendulum. Experiments with different processes indicate that the gains obtained with e...
