It is even harder, if not impossible, to maintain the compatibility between gene sequences of di#erent strategies. In practice, it is pretty di#cult to come up with an encoding for even well studied problems [8], let al..one for complex domains like the MAGNET system. We address the problem of reproduction and mutations by generalizing the concept of gene pool. We illustrate our approach by designing and investigating a simple model of a suppliers and customers community in Section 4. Our proposed ....

We propose a search algorithm based on the ideas of the Simulated Annealing [27] and Genetic Algorithms [10]. The algorithm will combine the stochastic temperature driven nature of the Simulated Annealing with the simultaneous search space exploration of the Genetic Algorithms. In this section we describe the proposed algorithm in more details and explain the rationale of its design. 22 5.1.2 Search ....

It is even harder, if not impossible, to maintain the compatibility between gene sequences of di#erent strategies. In practice, it is di#cult to come up with an encoding for even well studied problems [13], let al..one complex domains such as electronic markets. Our proposed approach to the problem described above is to maintain separate gene pools for di#erent types of strategies. For each type of strategy the system will derive the o#springs by operating on the whole pool to which they belong. ....

....that comprise natural selection, and mutation gives rise to the variation within species that selection acts upon. There is a long history of the study of the dynamics of evolution, starting with the Lotka Volterra equation [8] There is similarly a not quite so long history in genetic algorithms [5, 6], studying the dynamics of mutation. Only recently, however, have people been able to consider the two processes together, in order to understand evolution. These have generally involved simulating the lives and procreation of individual organisms, eg Thomas Ray s Tierra model, 9, 11, 10] or ....

....simulations of evolution, or to create Artificial Life systems which feature evolvability. 9, 11, 10] Most studies of evolution to date have had an externally imposed fitness function whether the models have been analytic in nature [1, 5] or are simulated on a computer as with genetic algorithms. [4, 3] This fitness function will have a global optimum, and as a consequence, there will be an end to evolution once the system has reached this optimum state. By contrast, in natural evolution, the goalposts are constantly being moved due to the rise and fall of coexisting species. A true ....

....destroyed by crossover or mutation. Holland has also shown that binary string encodings are optimal for processing the maximum number of schemata per generation. This result has been widely cited as justification for only using binary encodings for any problem [19] although this is changing [16]. The intuitive argument goes as follows: Consider two different alphabets for encoding the numbers from 0 to 15. We could use the standard binary encoding 0000; 0001; 0010; 1111, or we could use a symbol for each number, like A; B; O. The latter scheme needs only one symbol to ....

The accuracy required is 0.01 degree, an acceptable value for real problems. Gray code was used instead of natural binary code, in order to avoid disruptive mutations [5]. It was empirically observed that GAs using Gray code converged to an acceptable solution faster than when using natural binary code. Figure 1: Joint angles.

For bitstring encoding, Forrest (1993) claimed that Gray coded representations are often more successful than binary coded representations for applications that optimize multiparameter functions. Gray codes have the property that the incrementation or decrementation of the real parameter value by one step is always a 1 bit change. ....

Originally proposed by Holland [Holland, 1975) in the seventies, genetic algorithms have experienced a resurgence in popularity and use [Forrest, 1993), Goldberg, 1989) In its simplest form, a genetic algorithm operates over a population of binary strings, termed individuals. A fitness function, usually whatever function is to be optimized, assigns a fitness to each individual in the population. An individual represents a potential solution ....

Therefore, if a specific behavior can be adapted in a period of time consistent with times required for actual humans to adapt that behavior, the system is meeting the real time requirements. 3 Genetic Algorithms In its canonic form a GA[9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 17] has, at least, the following elements: a population of individuals encoded as chromosomes, a fitness function which drives selection of best individuals, a crossover technique to produce new offspring, plus random mutation of new offspring to introduce opportunistic variations.

....Children can then be created via crossover and mutation processes. Crossover is achieved by combining chromosone segments (sequences of variable values) from each of the parent chromosones. A number of random and probability based methods for choosing crossover variables have been developed [50, 56, 99, 100]. Once a child generation has been created, further alterations are achieved through mutation. Many methods can be envisioned [50, 56, 99, 100] For example, the effects of point mutations can be 10 C.

Simulated annealing has been applied to the ordering step of the fragment assembly problem [ Churchill et al. 1993) Burks et al. 1994) and genetic algorithms have been applied to this problem by the authors [ Parsons, Forrest, Burks 1993)] and to a related ordering problem, map assembly, by others [ Fickett Cinkosky 1993) Cedeno Vemuri 1993) The next section of this paper contains a detailed explanation of the flow of information in the fragment assembly problem and the general computational approach we follow.

Genetic Algorithms Applied to Fragment Assembly Genetic algorithms operate on a population of candidate solutions, called individuals [ Holland 1975) Goldberg 1989) (Forrest 1993)] Typically, the population is initialized with random individuals. After that, individuals are deleted from or reproduced in the population on the basis of their relative fitness. New individuals are formed by applying various operators to the existing population of individuals (see below) Each ....

....more adequately cope with their environment. Unfit organisms fail to cope and die. By applying the mechanisms of evolution and natural selection to computer algorithms, Holland has introduced a new and powerful set of adaptive search algorithms to be applied to mathematical optimization problems (Forrest 1993; Goldberg 1989; Holland 1992; Koza 1992) The basic operation of the genetic algorithm is quite simple. Say, for instance, we want to maximize a function f(x) x 2 n . We start with a random population of individuals whose elements are the parameters over which the function is being ....

....which perform better are allowed to multiply at the expense of the others. Occasionally, some o#spring is randomly altered, corresponding to the mutation or recombination of existing solutions. Such genetic algorithms allow to explore the space of solutions and often to home in on some optima (Forrest, 6 1993). But in biology, it is the population itself that is often the problem. The e#ciency of a wing shape may be independent on what the other birds are doing, but the success of a sex ratio or of a given degree of aggressivity is not. In a population with a surplus of males, it pays to produce ....
