Hart, E., Steyven, A., & Paechter, B. (2015, July). Improving survivability in environment-driven distributed evolutionary algorithms through explicit relative fitness and fitness proportionate communication. Presented at Proceedings of the 2015 on Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference - GECCO '15

Ensuring the integrity of a robot swarm in terms of maintaining
a stable population of functioning robots over long
periods of time is a mandatory prerequisite for building more
complex systems that achieve user-defined tasks. mEDEA
is an environ... Read More about Improving survivability in environment-driven distributed evolutionary algorithms through explicit relative fitness and fitness proportionate communication..

The Cost of Communication: Environmental Pressure and Survivability in mEDEA (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Steyven, A., Hart, E., & Paechter, B. (2015, July). The Cost of Communication: Environmental Pressure and Survivability in mEDEA. Presented at GECCO ’15

We augment the mEDEA algorithm to explicitly account for
the costs of communication between robots. Experimental
results show that adding a costs for communication exerts
environmental pressure to implicitly select for genomes that
maintain high... Read More about The Cost of Communication: Environmental Pressure and Survivability in mEDEA.
