Abstract:

This thesis describes the investigations undertaken to produce a novel hybrid optimisation technique that combines both global and local searching to produce good solutions quickly. Many evolutionary computation and experimental design methods are considered before genetic algorithms and evolutionary operation are combined to produce novel optimisation algorithms. A novel piece of software is created to run two and three factor evolutionary operation experiments. A range of new hybrid small population genetic algorithms are created that contain evolutionary operation in all generations (static

Abstract:

2007/2008<br>Evolutionary computations, also called evolutionary algorithms, consist of several heuristics, which are able to solve optimization tasks by imitating some aspects of natural evolution. They may use different levels of abstraction, but they are always working on populations of possible solutions for a given task. The basic idea is that if only those individuals of a population which meet a certain selection criteria reproduce, while the remaining individuals die, the population will converge to those individuals that best meet the selection criteria.

Abstract:

Languages and species both evolve by a process of repeated divergences, which can be described with the branching of a phylogenetic tree or phylogeny. Taking advantage of this fact, it is possible to study language change using computational tree building techniques developed for evolutionary biology. Mathematical approaches to the construction of phylogenies fall into two major categories: character based and distance based methods. Character based methods were used in prior work in the application of phylogenetic methods to the Indo-European family of languages by researchers at the Universi

Abstract:

This thesis was inspired by the difficulties of artificial evolutionary systems in finding elegant and well structured, regular solutions. That is that the solutions found are usually highly disorganized, poorly structured and exhibit limited re-use, resulting in bloat and other problems. This is also true of previous developmental evolutionary systems, where structural regularity emerges only by chance. We hypothesise that these problems might be ameliorated by incorporating repeated evaluations on increasingly difficult problems in the course of a developmental process. This thesis introd

Abstract:

The use of electricity in 21st century living has been firmly established throughout most of the world, correspondingly the infrastructure for production and delivery of electricity to consumers has matured and stabilised. However, due to recent technical and environmental–political developments, the electricity infrastructure worldwide is undergoing major restructuring. The forces driving this reorganisation are a complex interplay of technical, environmental, economic and political factors. The general trend of the reorganisation is a dis–aggregation of the previously integrated functions of

Abstract:

This thesis considers genetic programming (GP) for evolving financial trading strategies. The traditional approach in the literature is to represent a trading strategy, or a program, as a single decision tree. This thesis proposes a general multiple tree framework for dynamic decision making, where evaluation is contingent on the previous output ofthe program. The conditional multiple tree structure nests the single tree as a special case. TheoreticalIy, it is a superior alternative, but in practice this is not always the case. It depends on the underlying problem, and is basically a manifesta

The manual design of microarchitecture is labour-intensive and unlikely to generate good counterintuitive solutions. A designer, guided solely by intuition, is forced to manipulate many interdependent parameters by hand, introducing simplifying assumptions that artificially limit the potential of the architecture.

Evolutionary computation is a domain-independent, highly scalable technique capable of producing innovative designs with reasonable computational cost.<br>This study pre

Abstract:

Darwin's theory (1859) proposes that evolution progresses by the survival of those individuals in the population that have greater fitness. Modern understanding of Darwinian evolution is that variation in phenotype, or functional behavior, is caused by variation in genotype, or the DNA sequence. However, a quantitative understanding of what functional behaviors may emerge through Darwinian mechanisms, within reasonable computational and information-theoretic resources, has not been established.

The idea that it may be possible to synthesise robotic control systems using an automatic design process is appealing. However, ER is considerably more challenging and less automatic than its advocates would suggest. ER applies methods from the field of neuroevolution to evolve robot control systems.

Cancer research has made tremendous progress in understanding the basic biology of tumors. One of the key insights that has informed work in this area is the recognition that a tumor is an evolutionary system, in which individual cells undergo a process of rapid mutation and selection leading to a progression in phenotypes and, typically, aggressiveness of the tumor. Tumor phylogenetics is a strategy for interpreting the evolution of tumors using computer algorithms for phylogenetics, i.e., the inference of evolutionary trees. The approach takes advantage of a large body of phylogenetic theory
