Selection procedures are used in a variety of applications to select the best of a finite set of alternatives. ‘Best’ is defined with respect to the largest mean, but the me...
We consider temporal aspects of self-replication and evolvability – in particular, the massively asynchronous parallel and distributed nature of living systems. Formal views of s...
IEEE 802.11 MAC, called the Distributed Coordination Function (DCF), employs carrier sensing to effectively avoid collisions, but this makes it difficult to maximally reuse the sp...
This paper takes an economic approach to derive an evolutionary learning model based entirely on the endogenous employment of genetic operators in the service of self-interested a...
