....simulated evolution as an optimisation procedure continue to take us closer to real biological systems (p. 233) As with Hillis paper, the reason given for imposing coevolution is often that it provides a useful way of dealing with the problems associated with static fitness landscapes (Bullock 1995, section 5) It appears that few of those working with artificial selection intentionally use coevolution as a step towards intrinsic evolution. Notably, Reynolds (1994) of Boids fame worked towards more automatic evolution by coevolving simulated mobile agent controllers which competed with each ....

....that the species may become specialized to one another, each relying on the opposing species strategies and weaknesses. The species then stabilize in mediocre states, and an agent from one of the species will not perform well when pitted against a new type of opponent. To alleviate this problem, [Bullock, 1995] proposes using diffuse coevolution: allowing each species to compete against multiple opposing species, which are all evolved separately. Since each agent is tested against a wider diversity of opponents, more general strategies can evolve. Similar ideas are echoed in [Reynolds, 1994] The goal ....

.... arms race towards complexity is yet to be substantially realized, or, at least, observed; a number of problematic issues surrounding coevolutionary techniques are known to exist, such as the Red Queen Effect [6] mediocre stablestates [22] and the instability of two population coevolution [4, 2, 9]. If we want an arms race to complexity, we must consider the three components that are responsible for the behavior of the typical PE agent: its sensory apparatus, kinematics, and processing abilities. Which of these three components possess the potential when evolved to engender an arms race to ....
