“…So far, the inspiration has largely passed one way: from biology to algorithms. The field of artificial life gives some hint of traffic the other way, especially through agent-based simulations validating hypotheses about aspects of the interactions of population dynamics and evolution (Krivenko & Burtsev, 2007). However, the fields of optimisation and machine learning, in particular, have well-developed mathematical theories.…”
Nature has always been a source of inspiration. Over the last few decades, it has stimulated many successful techniques, algorithms and computational applications for dealing with large, complex and dynamic real world problems. In this article, the authors discuss why nature-inspired solutions have become increasingly important and favourable for tackling the conventionally-hard problems. They also present the concepts and background of some selected examples from the domain of natural computing, and describe their key applications in business, science and engineering. Finally, the future trends are highlighted to provide a vision for the potential growth of this field.

“…Artificial evolving systems are used to build complex systems that expose intellectual behavior and study the link between intellectuality and complexity [13]. Alife systems are plau-sible playground to explore the mechanisms of adaptation: general evolving system features such as speciation ( [2], [13]), aging ( [14]), cooperation ( [15]), developmental processes in artificial systems [16], and learning.…”
Cooperation behavior is one of the most used and spread Multi-agent system feature. In some cases emergence of this behaviour can be characterized by division of population on co-evolving subpopulations [1], [2]. Group interaction can take not only antagonistic conflict form but also genetic drift that results with strategies competition and assimilation [3]. In this work we demonstrate different relation between agent grouping and they behavior strategies. We use approach proposed in work [2] methodology of agent genotype dynamic tracking, due to this approach the evolving population can be presented in genotype space as a cloud of points where each point corresponds to one individual. In current work consider the movement of population centroid-the center of the genotype cloud. Analysis of such trajectories can shad the light on the regimes of population existence and genesis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
