If Darwin Had Been a Programmer -- Evolutionary Design by Computers
Dr. Christian Jacob, University of Calgary
http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~jacob/
Nature offers an amazing, yet largely unexplored, repertoire of approaches
to build complex and elaborate systems. Instead of composing its entities
from pre-fabricated parts, nature uses alternative approaches to explore
design solutions for the creation of its organisms as, e.g., structure
formation, growth, self-assembly, self-organization, emergence, and
evolution. This presentation will illustrate how to 'breed' computer
programs and how to utilize evolutionary techniques for emergent
computation through 'swarm intelligence' systems.
