Guiding the self-organization of random Boolean networks

C Gershenson - Theory in Biosciences, 2012 - Springer
Abstract Random Boolean networks (RBNs) are models of genetic regulatory networks. It is
useful to describe RBNs as self-organizing systems to study how changes in the nodes and …

Measuring logic complexity can guide pattern discovery in empirical systems

M Gherardi, P Rotondo - Complexity, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
A definition of complexity based on logic functions, which are widely used as compact
descriptions of rules in diverse fields of contemporary science was explored. Detailed …

[HTML][HTML] Co-evolution and ecosystem based problem solving

FK de Boer, P Hogeweg - Ecological informatics, 2012 - Elsevier

The role of canalization in the spreading of perturbations in Boolean networks

SVS Manicka - 2017 - search.proquest.com
Canalization is a property of Boolean automata that characterizes the extent to which
subsets of inputs determine (canalize) the output. Here, we investigate the role of …

Evolution of cellular automata with memory: The density classification task

C Stone, L Bull - BioSystems, 2009 - Elsevier
The Density Classification Task is a well known test problem for two-state discrete dynamical
systems. For many years researchers have used a variety of evolutionary computation …
