We describe the content and outcomes of First Workshop on Open-Ended Evolution: Recent Progress Future Milestones (OEE1), held during ECAL 2015 conference at University York, UK, in July 2015. briefly summarize workshop's talks, identify main themes that emerged from open discussions. Two important conclusions discussions are: (1) idea pluralism about OEE-it seems clear there is more than one interesting kind OEE; (2) importance distinguishing observable behavioral hallmarks systems...
Abstract Tipping point feedback structures can push a series of product development projects into fire‐fighting mode in which rework overwhelms progress. Similar dynamics also threaten the performance individual projects. The current work extends previous tipping research to single and demonstrates how simple, common structure cause complex dynamics, trap deteriorating modes behavior, fail. Basic are described, demonstrated, analyzed with model. concept applying robustness project design is...
Karl Sims' work on evolving body shapes and controllers for three-dimensional, physically simulated creatures generated wide interest its publication in 1994. The purpose of this article is threefold: (a) to highlight a spate recent by number researchers replicating, some cases extending, results using standard PCs (Sims' original was done Connection Machine CM-5 parallel computer). In particular, re-implementation the authors will be described discussed; (b) illustrate how off-the-shelf...
This article presents a high-level conceptual framework to help orient the discussion and implementation of open-endedness in evolutionary systems. Drawing upon earlier work by Banzhaf et al. (2016), three different kinds are identified: exploratory, expansive, transformational. These characterized terms their relationship search space phenotypic behaviors. A formalism is introduced describe key processes required for an process: generation phenotype from genetic description, evaluation that...
This work investigates the effect of ecological interactions between organisms on evolutionary dynamics a community. A spatially explicit, individual-based model is presented, in which compete for space and resources. We investigated how introducing potential mutualistic relationships (where presence one type organism stimulates growth another type, vice versa) affected system. Without this potential, or small number individual types dominated simulated community from onset. When were...
Open-ended evolutionary dynamics remains an elusive goal for artificial systems. Many ideas exist in the biological literature beyond basic Darwinian requirements of variation, differential reproduction and inheritance. I argue that these can be seen as aspects five fundamental open-ended evolution: (1) robustly reproductive individuals, (2) a medium allowing possible existence practically unlimited diversity individuals interactions, (3) capable producing more complex offspring, (4)...
Industrial agriculture’s expansive monocultures contrast against community farms of diverse crops in small allotments constrained by urban regulations. These human-controlled differences scale, arrangement and crop diversity, may differently impact insect foraging pollination. The relationship between human management pollination is under-explored, especially regarding the implications flower constancy–the tendency insects to favour visits a single rewarding species during bout. Although...
This paper presents a novel application of agent-based simulation software to tune real greenhouse infrastructure containing flowering seed or vegetable crop plants and their insect pollinators. Gr...
