[Title] Evolving Cooperation Strategies [Abstract] The identification, design, and implementation of strategies for cooperation is a central research issue in the field of Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI). We propose a novel approach to the construction of cooperation strategies for a group of problem solvers based on the Genetic Programming (GP) paradigm. GPs are a class of adaptive algorithms used to evolve solution structures that optimize a given evaluation criterion. Our approach is based on designing a representation for cooperation strategies that can be manipulated by GPs. We present results from experiments in the predator-prey domain, which has been extensively studied as a easy-to-describe but difficult-to-solve cooperation problem domain. The key aspect of our approach is the minimal reliance on domain knowledge and human intervention in the construction of good cooperation strategies. Promising comparison results with prior systems lend credence to the viability of this ap proach. Please summarise all the given information.

Reading, MA: Addison-Wesley. [Abstract] To implement a specific application, you should only have to change the file app.c. Section 2 describes the routines in app.c in detail. If you use additional variables for your specific problem, the easiest method of making them available to other program units is to declare them in sga.h and external.h. However, take care that you do not redeclare existing variables. Two example applications files are included in the SGA-C distribution. The file app1.c performs the simple example problem included with the Pascal version; finding the maximum of x 10 , where x is an integer interpretation of a chromosome. A slightly more complex application is include in app2.c. This application illustrates two features that have been added to SGA-C. The first of these is the ithruj2int function, which converts bits i through j in a chromosome to an integer. The second new feature is the utility pointer that is associated with each population member. The example application interprets each chromosome as a set of concatenated integers in binary form. The lengths of these integer fields is determined by the user-specified value of field size, which is read in by the function app data(). The field size must be less than the smallest of the chromosome length and the length of an unsigned integer. An integer array for storing the interpreted form of each chromosome is dynamically allocated and assigned to the chromosome's utility pointer in app malloc(). The ithruj2int routine (see utility.c) is used to translate each chromosome into its associated vector. The fitness for each chromosome is simply the sum of the squares of these integers. This example application will function for any chromosome length. SGA-C is intended to be a simple program for first-time GA experimentation. It is not intended to be definitive in terms of its efficiency or the grace of its implementation. The authors are interested in the comments, criticisms, and bug reports from SGA-C users, so that the code can be refined for easier use in subsequent versions.

[Title] A Comparison of Random Search versus Genetic Programming as Engines for Collective Adaptation [Abstract] We have integrated the distributed search of genetic programming (GP) based systems with collective memory to form a collective adaptation search method. Such a system significantly improves search as problem complexity is increased. Since the pure GP approach does not scale well with problem complexity, a natural question is which of the two components is actually contributing to the search process. We investigate a collective memory search which utilizes a random search engine and find that it significantly outperforms the GP based search engine. We examine the solution space and show that as problem complexity and search space grow, a collective adaptive system will perform better than a collective memory search employing random search as an engine.

[Title] Co-Evolving Soccer Softbot Team Coordination with Genetic Programming [Abstract] Genetic Programming is a promising new method for automatically generating functions and algorithms through natural selection. In contrast to other learning methods, Genetic Programming's automatic programming makes it a natural approach for developing algorithmic robot behaviors. In this paper we present an overview of how we apply Genetic Programming to behavior-based team coordination in the RoboCup Soccer Server domain. The result is not just a hand-coded soccer algorithm, but a team of softbots which have learned on their own how to play a reasonable game of soccer. Please summarise all the given information.

[Title] A Simulation of Adaptive Agents in a Hostile Environment [Abstract] In this paper we use the genetic programming technique to evolve programs to control an autonomous agent capable of learning how to survive in a hostile environment. In order to facilitate this goal, agents are run through random environment configurations. Randomly generated programs, which control the interaction of the agent with its environment, are recombined to form better programs. Each generation of the population of agents is placed into the Simulator with the ultimate goal of producing an agent capable of surviving any environment. The environment that an agent is presented consists of other agents, mines, and energy. The goal of this research is to construct a program which when executed will allow an agent (or agents) to correctly sense, and mark, the presence of items (energy and mines) in any environment. The Simulator determines the raw fitness of each agent by interpreting the associated program. General programs are evolved to solve this problem. Different environmental setups are presented to show the generality of the solution. These environments include one agent in a fixed environment, one agent in a fluctuating environment, and multiple agents in a fluctuating environment cooperating together. The genetic programming technique was extremely successful. The average fitness per generation in all three environments tested showed steady improvement. Programs were successfully generated that enabled an agent to handle any possible environment. Please summarise all the given information.

[Title] Evolving Visual Routines [Abstract] Traditional machine vision assumes that the vision system recovers a a complete, labeled description of the world [ Marr, 1982 ] . Recently, several researchers have criticized this model and proposed an alternative model which considers perception as a distributed collection of task-specific, task-driven visual routines [ Aloimonos, 1993, Ullman, 1987 ] . Some of these researchers have argued that in natural living systems these visual routines are the product of natural selection [ Ramachandran, 1985 ] . So far, researchers have hand-coded task-specific visual routines for actual implementations (e.g. [ Chapman, 1993 ] ). In this paper we propose an alternative approach in which visual routines for simple tasks are evolved using an artificial evolution approach. We present results from a series of runs on actual camera images, in which simple routines were evolved using Genetic Programming techniques [ Koza, 1992 ] . The results obtained are promising: the evolved routines are able to correctly classify up to 93% of the images, which is better than the best algorithm we were able to write by hand.

[Title] A Methodology for Processing Problem Constraints in Genetic Programming [Abstract] Search mechanisms of artificial intelligence combine two elements: representation, which determines the search space, and a search mechanism, which actually explores the space. Unfortunately, many searches may explore redundant and/or invalid solutions. Genetic programming refers to a class of evolutionary algorithms based on genetic algorithms but utilizing a parameterized representation in the form of trees. These algorithms perform searches based on simulation of nature. They face the same problems of redundant/invalid subspaces. These problems have just recently been addressed in a systematic manner. This paper presents a methodology devised for the public domain genetic programming tool lil-gp. This methodology uses data typing and semantic information to constrain the representation space so that only valid, and possibly unique, solutions will be explored. The user enters problem-specific constraints, which are transformed into a normal set. This set is checked for feasibility, and subsequently it is used to limit the space being explored. The constraints can determine valid, possibly unique space. Moreover, they can also be used to exclude subspaces the user considers uninteresting, using some problem-specific knowledge. A simple example is followed thoroughly to illustrate the constraint language, transformations, and the normal set. Experiments with boolean 11-multiplexer illustrate practical applications of the method to limit redundant space exploration by utilizing problem-specific knowledge. fl Supported by a grant from NASA/JSC: NAG 9-847.

[Title] Evolving Behavioral Strategies in Predators and Prey [Abstract] The predator/prey domain is utilized to conduct research in Distributed Artificial Intelligence. Genetic Programming is used to evolve behavioral strategies for the predator agents. To further the utility of the predator strategies, the prey population is allowed to evolve at the same time. The expected competitive learning cycle did not surface. This failing is investigated, and a simple prey algorithm surfaces, which is consistently able to evade capture from the predator algorithms.

[Title] Strongly Typed Genetic Programming [Abstract] BBN Technical Report #7866: Abstract Genetic programming is a powerful method for automatically generating computer programs via the process of natural selection [Koza 92]. However, it has the limitation known as "closure", i.e. that all the variables, constants, arguments for functions, and values returned from functions must be of the same data type. To correct this deficiency, we introduce a variation of genetic programming called "strongly typed" genetic programming (STGP). In STGP, variables, constants, arguments, and returned values can be of any data type with the provision that the data type for each such value be specified beforehand. This allows the initialization process and the genetic operators to only generate syntactically correct parse trees. Key concepts for STGP are generic functions, which are not true strongly typed functions but rather templates for classes of such functions, and generic data types, which are analogous. To illustrate STGP, we present four examples involving vector/matrix manipulation and list manipulation: (1) the multi-dimensional least-squares regression problem, (2) the multi-dimensional Kalman filter, (3) the list manipulation function NTH, and (4) the list manipulation function MAPCAR.

[Title] Entailment for Specification Refinement [Abstract] Specification refinement is part of formal program derivation, a method by which software is directly constructed from a provably correct specification. Because program derivation is an intensive manual exercise used for critical software systems, an automated approach would allow it to be viable for many other types of software systems. The goal of this research is to determine if genetic programming (GP) can be used to automate the specification refinement process. The initial steps toward this goal are to show that a well-known proof logic for program derivation can be encoded such that a GP-based system can infer sentences in the logic for proof of a particular sentence. The results are promising and indicate that GP can be useful in aiding pro gram derivation. Please summarise all the given information.

Kinnear, Jr. and Peter J. Angeline, editors Advances in Genetic Programming 2, MIT Press, 1996. Abstract Genetic Programming (GP) is an automatic method for generating computer programs, which are stored as data structures and manipulated to evolve better programs. An extension restricting the search space is Strongly Typed Genetic Programming (STGP), which has, as a basic premise, the removal of closure by typing both the arguments and return values of functions, and by also typing the terminal set. A restriction of STGP is that there are only two levels of typing. We extend STGP by allowing a type hierarchy, which allows more than two levels of typing.

[Title] Program Optimization for Faster Genetic Programming [Abstract] We have used genetic programming to develop efficient image processing software. The ultimate goal of our work is to detect certain signs of breast cancer that cannot be detected with current segmentation and classification methods. Traditional techniques do a relatively good job of segmenting and classifying small-scale features of mammo-grams, such as micro-calcification clusters. Our strongly-typed genetic programs work on a multi-resolution representation of the mammogram, and they are aimed at handling features at medium and large scales, such as stel-lated lesions and architectural distortions. The main problem is efficiency. We employ program optimizations that speed up the evolution process by more than a factor of ten. In this paper we present our genetic programming system, and we describe our optimization techniques. Please summarise all the given information.

[Title] Augmenting Collective Adaptation with Simple Process Agents [Abstract] We have integrated the distributed search of genetic programming based systems with collective memory to form a collective adaptation search method. Such a system significantly improves search as problem complexity is increased. However, there is still considerable scope for improvement. In collective adaptation, search agents gather knowledge of their environment and deposit it in a central information repository. Process agents are then able to manipulate that focused knowledge, exploiting the exploration of the search agents. We examine the utility of increasing the capabilities of the centralized process agents. Please summarise all the given information.

[Title] Towards Automatic Discovery of Building Blocks in Genetic Programming [Abstract] This paper presents an algorithm for the discovery of building blocks in genetic programming (GP) called adaptive representation through learning (ARL). The central idea of ARL is the adaptation of the problem representation, by extending the set of terminals and functions with a set of evolvable subroutines. The set of subroutines extracts common knowledge emerging during the evolutionary process and acquires the necessary structure for solving the problem. ARL supports subroutine creation and deletion. Subroutine creation or discovery is performed automatically based on the differential parent-offspring fitness and block activation. Subroutine deletion relies on a utility measure similar to schema fitness over a window of past generations. The technique described is tested on the problem of controlling an agent in a dynamic and non-deterministic environment. The automatic discovery of subroutines can help scale up the GP technique to complex problems. Please summarise all the given information.

[Title] Modeling Distributed Search via Social Insects [Abstract] Complex group behavior arises in social insects colonies as the integration of the actions of simple and redundant individual insects [Adler and Gordon, 1992, Oster and Wilson, 1978]. Furthermore, the colony can act as an information center to expedite foraging [Brown, 1989]. We apply these lessons from natural systems to model collective action and memory in a computational agent society. Collective action can expedite search in combinatorial optimization problems [Dorigo et al., 1996]. Collective memory can improve learning in multi-agent systems [Garland and Alterman, 1996]. Our collective adaptation integrates the simplicity of collective action with the pattern detection of collective memory to significantly improve both the gathering and processing of knowledge. As a test of the role of the society as an information center, we examine the ability of the society to distribute task allocation without any omnipotent centralized control.
