A Model for the Evolution of Environments

摘要

In artificial world research, the environments as themselves are rarely studied. Both in multi - agents systems and artificial life domains, the dominant work turns around the active entities, the agents. The aim of this paper is to propose a theoretical approach of an environment model. It must allow to deal with the different existing environment types but also to add a creative touch by introducing the concepts of meta - environment and multi - environments. This model defines some evolutionary schemes for an environment, and the different ways of interaction between them.
