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 ...

Real-time cell scheduling is a promising area for the application of evolvable hardware (EHW). In this paper, we describe an intrinsic evolvable and online adaptive EHW for solving the packet switching problem. Based on the coding and evolution scheme, we refer to it as evolvable fuzzy hardware (EFH), an extension of our proposed evolvable fuzzy system (EFS) [1, 2] and reconfigurable fuzzy infe...

The main target of this chapter is to present the intrinsic evolvable hardware structures: concept, design and applications. The intrinsic evolvable hardware structures concept join more research areas like: bio – inspired searching methods (evolutionary algorithms), optimization of algorithms by parallel processing and reconfigurable circuits. First, a general overview about intrinsic evolvabl...

This chapter provides an introduction to evolvable hardware. First, the basic idea of evolvable hardware is outlined. Because evolvable hardware involves the integration of programmable logic device and evolutionary computation, these are both explained briefly. Then, an overview of current research on evolvable hardware is presented. Finally, the chapter discusses some directions for future re...

In this talk, first, the introduction of the concept of Evolvable Hardware (EHW) is made focussed on: basic concept of evolvable hardware, digital hardware evolution (gate-level evolvable hardware and function level evolvable hardware), also analogue hardware evolution and mechanical hardware evolution. The industrial applications of EHW are discussed, including : (a) cellular phone analog LSI ...

Dr. Higuchi is the leading figure in the real world applications of evolvable hardware. His speech will focus on semiconductor applications including analog LSI, clock timing adjustment, high-speed data transmission using the idea of evolvable hardware. While digital hardware design has made rapid progress due to advances in EDA software tools, analog hardware design is still highly reliant on ...

This paper presents a genetic programming based evolutionary strategy for on-line adaptive learnable evolvable hardware. Genetic programming can be useful control method for evolvable hardware for its unique tree structured chromosome. However it is difficult to represent tree structured chromosome on hardware, and it is difficult to use crossover operator on hardware. Therefore, genetic progra...

Harnessing all of the intrinsic data-processing power of electronic devices is impossible through traditional circuit design. While complex physical processes involving electronic, thermal, and quantum phenomena underlie the operation of the devices, standard circuit design methodology appropriately mandates a level of abstraction in which most of these phenomena are safely ignored. In this wor...
