From Evolutionary Computation to Computational Evolution

This paper proposes that evolutionary computation be understood more like computational evolution, i.e., to use the evolutionary process for construction , rather than for optimization. For this purpose simulation of the evolutionary process should include a non-linear developmental process from genotype to phenotype. In this developmental process the environment has an important role. In order to model the developmental process under the in-uence of the environment, a new modeling language is introduced. The focus of this language is on the interactions, which are considered to be the basic elements for environmental adaptation. The developed modeling method provides a complete simulation environment for the construction of organisms. The developed system aims to construct intelligence as adaptive behavior based on artiicial neural networks.
