From Evolutionary Computation to Computational Evolution.
Jari Vaario · 1994
This paper proposes that evolutionary computation be understood more like computational evolution, i.e., to use the evolutionary process for construction, rather than for optimization. For this purpose simulation of the evolutionary process should include a non-linear developmental process from genotype to phenotype. In this developmental process the environment has an important role. In order to model the developmental process under the influence of the environment, a new modeling language is introduced. The focus of this language is on the interactions, which are considered to be the basic elements for environmental adaptation. The developed modeling method provides a complete simulation environment for the construction of organisms. The developed system aims to construct intelligence as adaptive behavior based on artificial neural networks. 1 Introduction Artificial Intelligence has failed to model intelligence as it appears in natural systems. This is an actual problem for applica...
