Abstract:

. The following report presents the preliminary results and theoretical backgrounds of a multi-layer evolutionary mechanism. The project aims at developing a mechanism for automated agent design within a pre-designed multi-layer architecture. The core mechanism used in the experiments is a Genetic Programming algorithm working in a specially designed condition-action rules system. Described multi-layer evolution paradigm is inspired by notion of the niche & design spaces. There are presented plans for experiments with the multi-layer coevolutionary mechanism for parallel distributed search within restrained search space. Attention is paid to evolutionary mechanisms in general, with no commitments to any particular problem. In theory the multi-layer evolutionary process can be applied to a number of systems and problems, e.g. to Genetic Programming. Keywords: agents, genetic algorithms, evolutionary mechanisms, architectures ? The work was written by the first author under ...
