Conversion from a widely-used automotive fuel to an alternative fuel can be seen as the coevolution of two systems: a societal system of vehicle owners and a supply infrastructure that will provide the alternative fuel. We present a cultural algorithms model that allows us to assess the impact that initial alternative fuel station distribution and cultural motivation have on alternative fuel adopt...Show More
Cultural algorithms (CA) (Reynolds 1994) is an evolutionary model derived from the cultural evolution process. CA has two major components, a population components and a belief component. In a previous paper it was show that certain problem solving phases emerged during the optimization process in a dynamic problem solving environment (Reynolds and Saleem 2003). These phases were labeled coarse gr...Show More
In the previous work it was observed that certain problem solving phases emerged during the optimization process for a real-valued functional surface within a cone-world environment using a cultural algorithm. The cultural algorithm was configured using five knowledge sources in the belief space, and evolutionary programming model in the population space (Reynolds and Saleem, 2003). It turned out ...Show More
In this paper we investigate how diverse knowledge sources interact to direct individuals in a swarm population. We identify three basic phases of problem solving that are generated by the swarm population in the solution of real valued function optimization problems. The question that we are interested in answering is how these phases derive from the interaction of various sources of cultural kno...Show More

Evolve IV is an individual-based metabolically driven evolutionary ecosystem model that captures the reciprocal relationship between biota and their environment. In one series of experiments with Evolve IV, the initial population modifies the environment to its own disadvantage, i.e., it pollutes. Eventually a new nonpolluting population emerges. The length of time taken for this evolutionary lear...Show More
EVOLVE IV is an evolutionary ecosystem model designed to explore niche proliferation and the emergence of inter-specific interactions. Organisms can interact by exchanging metabolites and by modifying their environment either to the benefit or detriment of neighboring organisms. Experiments indicate that niche formation occurs in the model.Show More
