In this paper we explore methods of enhancing the evolvability of a particular device. We assume that the device may be specified by a table of inputs and outputs. We investigate a method of extracting the topological structure of the device from rarified absolute Hessian matrices (raH matrices) and using this topological information as the basis for construction of solutions to evolutionary problems. We validate the algorithm by demonstrating its ability to extract the structure of devices to be evolved from the input/output table. Moreover, we validate this structure by using a genetic algorithm to train a perceptron, yielding perceptrons …
The Genesis Of Swarm Engineering, S. Kazadi
The Genesis Of Swarm Engineering, S. Kazadi
Sanza Kazadi
This paper reviews the development of swarm engineering through various examples drawn from the literature. The paper explores the current swarm intelligence paradigm and describes some of the problems with this paradigm. Finally, the paper describes a new method called swarm engineering which approaches the design and implementation of swarms in an entirely new way. The efficacy and limitations of this approach are discussed with examples from the literature.
