Critical Values in Asynchronous Random Boolean Networks
Abstract Wherever we see life, we see different kinds of complex networks, reason why they are studied across various fields of science. Random Boolean Networks (RBNs) form a spe...

Simulating the Evolution of Ant Behaviour in Evaluating Nest Sites
When an ant colony needs to find a new nest, scouts are sent out to evaluate the suitability of potential sites, particularly their size. It has been suggested that ant scouts of L...

Simulating Evolution's First Steps
We demonstrate a simple artificial chemistry environment in which two small evolutionary transitions from the simplest self-replicators to larger ones are observed. The replicator...

Meta-evolutionary Game Dynamics for Mathematical Modelling of Rules Dynamics
This paper proposes an evolutionary-game-theory model, called meta-evolutionary game dynamics, for studying the dynamics of rules and individual behaviour. Although there are two g...

Caring versus Sharing: How to Maintain Engagement and Diversity in Coevolving Populations
Coevolutionary optimisation suffers from a series of problems that interfere with the progressive escalating arms races that are hoped might solve difficult classes of optimisatio...

When Can We Call a System Self-Organizing?
Abstract. We do not attempt to provide yet another definition of selforganization, but explore the conditions under which we can model a system as self-organizing. These involve th...

Explorations of Task-Dependent Visual Morphologies in Competitive Co-evolutionary Experiments
This paper presents results from a number of experiments within the area of competitive co-evolutionary robotics. The focus in these experiments has been on ‘co-evolving’ parts...

Contextual Random Boolean Networks
Abstract. We propose the use of Deterministic Generalized Asynchronous Random Boolean Networks [1] as models of contextual deterministic discrete dynamical systems. We show that ch...

Phase Transitions in Self-Organising Sensor Networks
In this paper we consider a multi-cellular sensing and communication network, embedded in an ageless aerospace vehicle, that is expected to detect and react to impact location, int...
