Possible Topics of our Project
Proposed by Akira Imada (December 2003)
The followings are not exaustive nor systematic but just spontaneous idea of what we might
study as our research. I hope by reading those items
germs of some excellent inspirations sprouted in your mind and
a better plan would come to you.
Evolution of Economics
The idea is to observe how a random economic behavior of individuals
evolve to some sophisticated economic system. New sytem of economy,
not capitalism, not socialism, a completly new one, so to speak,
what-it-could-be rather than what-it-is, could possibly emaerge.
- Such an experiment is not new. As a start of survey, see for example, the paper
Or, you may obtain a birds-eye-view of
- For survey purposes, you may collect papers on this topic from
Research topic includes, "Finnacial time series prediction";
"Experiment on financial relatin between multiple countries using distributed system of multiple
PCs using, e.g., Island-Model"; "Study of not-so-far-existed model of economy system" and so on...
Evolution of Strategy in Robot Football
The idea is the same as above, that is, evolution of vehaviors of multi agents.
But this topic is more specific than the above and hence easier to tuckle and
easier to demonstrate the results. We might apply the result to
foot ball game by real micro-robots
Evolution of Network Security
This is somewhat of a more practical topic than the above two
which are rather from academic interest.
Here I want to put enphasis on biologically inspired methods like
immune system, neural networks and so on.
- To overview you might read and/or explore
- To survey purposes, you may collect papers from
Design of Logic Circuit by Evolution
This is an application of artificial evolution to industry, that is
designing hardware by using evolution. Logic ciucuit nowadays
becoming more and more sophisticated and the complexity would
be beyond human capability. Why then don't we use evolutionary
technique to this field. When succeeding to establish some method,
we might be a millionair.
- You might get an overview by visiting:
The conference on this topic is held every year in NASA, USA, and the recent information is on
- A paper on this topic is here:
Data Mining using Evolution
This is quite a new topic to me, but if some of you are interested in...
In order to explore Evolutionary Computations (EC):
- To obtain a general idea of Evolutionary Computation we have an internet site:
- Everyday acctivity of ECs including International Conferences are found at:
- You might obtain basic papers on ECs at:
- If you are interested specifically in Genetic Programming (GP) which
is a technique to evolve tree structures instead of single strings, visit:
- Finally, if your interest is more on biological aspect, try:
Enjoy!
