WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Some Earth-orbiting satellites will be able to keep in touch longer with controllers on the planet’s surface thanks to computer programs that mimic Darwin’s evolutionary model ...

Genetic algorithms borrow their name and principles from biological evolution, but can they help researchers discover the fundamentals of life? Evolution is one of the most widely known theories in ...

Nicholas K. Logan, CEH is a graduating senior in the information assurance program of the School of Business and Management at Norwich University. As one of his essays in the IS342 Management of ...

Evolution is often characterized as a tinkerer creating efficient but messy solutions. We analyze the nature of the problems that arise when trying to explain and understand cognitive phenomena ...

Genetic algorithms can be used for the evolutionary design of satellites to make them more resistant to space-debris damage, say researchers. The algorithms would drive the choice of spacecraft ...

We just put up a neat article and some visual basic software that will solve a thermistor resistor network to a complex curve. The first time I heard about genetic algorithms was reading about it in ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Some Earth-orbiting satellites will be able to keep in touch longer with controllers on the planet's surface thanks to computer programs that mimic Darwin's evolutionary model ...

Models that optimize rules by mimicking the Darwinian notion of survival of the fittest. A set of rules is chosen from those that work the best. The weakest are discarded. In addition, two successful ...
