Exploration of static equilibrium representations; policies and genetic algorithms

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Ioannis Mirtsopoulos

Design exploration consists in browsing the design space and through the incremental generation of diverse design candidates increases creativity and diversity. When integrated into the early stages of the structural design process, the task is expected to ...

Toward Mobile Distributed Ledgers

Boi Faltings, Sujit Prakash Gujar, Dimitrios Chatzopoulos, Anurag Jain

Advances in mobile computing have paved the way for new types of distributed applications that can be executed solely by mobile devices on Device-to-Device (D2D) ecosystems (e.g., crowdsensing). Sophisticated applications, like cryptocurrencies, need distr ...

Constrained optimization applied to multiscale integrative modeling

Giorgio Elikem Tamo

Multiscale integrative modeling stands at the intersection between experimental and computational techniques to predict the atomistic structures of important macromolecules. In the integrative modeling process, the experimental information is often integra ...

Memetic Viability Evolution for Constrained Optimization

Dario Floreano, Andrea Maesani, Giovanni Iacca

The performance of evolutionary algorithms can be heavily undermined when constraints limit the feasible areas of the search space. For instance, while Covariance Matrix Adapta- tion Evolution Strategy is one of the most efficient algorithms for unconstrai ...

Modeling Flow Pattern and Evolution of Meandering Channels with a Nonlinear Model

Koen Blanckaert

Meander dynamics has been the focus of river engineering for decades; however, it remains a challenge for researchers to precisely replicate natural evolution processes of meandering channels with numerical models due to the high nonlinearity of the govern ...

Viability Principles for Constrained Optimization Using a (1+1)-CMA-ES

Dario Floreano, Andrea Maesani

Viability Evolution is an abstraction of artificial evolution which operates by eliminating candidate solutions that do not satisfy viability criteria. Viability criteria are defined as boundaries on the values of objectives and constraints of the problem ...

La Havane en mouvement: d'une rive à l'autre (Cuba)

Marcel Perrin, Philippe Bechet

En 2009, Cuba fêtait le cinquantième anniversaire de la révolution qui, bon gré mal gré, a résisté à toutes les tempêtes économiques et politiques. En dépit de cette longévité héroïque, il semblerait que l'île soit à la croisée des chemins, comme en témoig ...

The fixation of locally beneficial alleles in a metapopulation

Séverine Vuilleumier Varisco, Nicolas Perrin

Extinction, recolonization and local adaption are common in natural spatially structured populations. Understanding their effect upon genetic variation is important for systems such as GMO management, or avoidance of drug resistance. Theoretical studies on ...

Language Evolution as a Darwinian Process: Computational Studies

Frédéric Kaplan

This paper presents computational experiments that illustrate how one can precisely conceptualize language evolution as a Darwinian process. We show that there is potentially a wide diversity of replicating units and replication mechanisms involved in lang ...
