Traditionally, ad hoc networks have been viewed as a connected graph over which end-to-end routing paths had to be established. Mobility was considered a necessary evil that inval...
Abstract. We are witnessing a dramatic increase in the use of datacentric distributed systems such as global grid infrastructures, sensor networks, network monitoring, and various ...
This paper extends prior work using Compositional Pattern Producing Networks (CPPNs) as a generative encoding for the purpose of simultaneously evolving robot morphology and contr...
