Adaptation In Natural And Artificial Systems - An Introductory Analysis With Applications To Biology, Control, And Artificial Intelligence

by John H. Holland

70,23€ + 10% CARD

 Genetic algorithms are playing an increasingly important role in studies of complex adaptive systems, ranging from adaptive agents in economic theory to the use of machine learning techniques in the design of complex devices such as aircraft turbines and integrated circuits. Adaptation in Natural and Artificial Systems is the book that initiated this field of study, presenting the theoretical foundations and exploring applications.In its most familiar form, adaptation is a biological process, whereby organisms evolve by rearranging genetic material to survive in environments confronting them. In this now classic work, Holland presents a mathematical model that allows for the nonlinearity of such complex interactions. He demonstrates the model's universality by applying it to economics, physiological psychology, game theory, and artificial intelligence and then outlines the way in which this approach modifies the traditional views of mathematical genetics.Initially applying his concepts to simply defined artificial systems with limited numbers of parameters, Holland goes on to explore their use in the study of a wide range of complex, naturally occuring processes, concentrating on systems having multiple factors that interact in nonlinear ways. Along the way he accounts for major effects of coadaptation and coevolution: the emergence of building blocks, or schemata, that are recombined and passed on to succeeding generations to provide, innovations and improvements.

From Animals To Animats 3 - Proceedings Of The Third International Conference On Simulation Of Adpative Behavior

178,88€ + 10% CARD

 August 8-12, 1994, Brighton, England From Animals to Animats 3 brings together research intended to advance the front tier of an exciting new approach to understanding intelligence. The contributors represent a broad range of interests from artificial intelligence and robotics to ethology and the neurosciences. Unifying these approaches is the notion of "animat"—an artificial animal, either simulated by a computer or embodied in a robot, which must survive and adapt in progressively more challenging environments. The 58 contributions focus particularly on well-defined models, computer simulations, and built robots in order to help characterize and compare various principles and architectures capable of inducing adaptive behavior in real or artificial animals.Topics Include Individual and collective behavior • Neural correlates of behavior • Perception and motor control • Motivation and emotion • Action selection and behavioral sequences • Ontogeny, learning, and evolution • Internal world models and cognitive processes • Applied adaptive behavior • Autonomous robots • Heirarchical and parallel organizations • Emergent structures and behaviors • Problem solving and planning • Goal-directed behavior • Neural networks and evolutionary computation • Characterization of environmentsA Bradford Book

Growing Artificial Societies - Social Science From The Bottom Up

by Joshua M. Epstein e Robert L. Axtell

71,55€ + 10% CARD

 How do social structures and group behaviors arise from the interaction of individuals? Growing Artificial Societies approaches this question with cutting-edge computer simulation techniques. Fundamental collective behaviors such as group formation, cultural transmission, combat, and trade are seen to "emerge" from the interaction of individual agents following a few simple rules.In their program, named Sugarscape, Epstein and Axtell begin the development of a "bottom up" social science that is capturing the attention of researchers and commentators alike.The study is part of the 2050 Project, a joint venture of the Santa Fe Institute, the World Resources Institute, and the Brookings Institution. The project is an international effort to identify conditions for a sustainable global system in the next century and to design policies to help achieve such a system.Copublished with the Brookings Institution
