Paper Abstract:
|
This paper describes research and results in the evolution of coordinated behaviours among agents inhabiting a virtual world where interactions and payoffs are modelled using the prisoners dilemma. Each agents action in the game and their movements in the game are controlled by their genotype which is subject to evolutionary pressure; fitness is calculated as the payoff accumulated in the simulation. A number of experiments are presented which show that agents evolved a form of coordination during the evolutionary simulation. Experiments detailing the effect of changing the game payoff and changing the initial clustering of the agents are also discussed. |
