Transitions in a Simple Evolutionary Model

摘要

We report on the construction of a simple alife model to invesitgate the theories concerning evolutionary transitions. These theories can be considered as biological metaphors for cooperative problem solving. The benefit of this model for computer science results from the model's property to assimilate, in evolutionary fashion, complex structures from simple ones. It is this assimilation process we want to capture in an algorithm in order to apply it to learning and optimization problems.
