Evolutionary Design of Virtual Plants

چکیده
This paper presents a technique of evolutionary design for plants in virtual worlds, inspired from Richard Dawkins' adaptive walks within the space of biomorph structures. The design is carried out by interactive sessions with a multi-agent platform of generic virtual plants. The plants, growing in a three-dimensional environment, are based upon the fusion between a two-substrate transport-resistance model and an L-system formalism. Two simulations highlight the interest of modeling interactions with the environment and a framework of physiological processes for resource management. Resource assimilation allows obtaining growth differences between the individuals depending on their access to light and soil minerals. Resource flow and allocation inside the virtual plants induce phenotypic plasticity. These dynamics contribute to a range of adaptive growth patterns.

Selection of energy source and evolutionary stable strategies for power plants under financial intervention of government
Currently, many socially responsible governments adopt economic incentives and deterrents to manage environmental impacts of electricity suppliers. Considering the Stackelberg leadership of the government, the government’s role in the competition of power plants in an electricity market is investigated. A one-population evolutionary game model of power plants is developed to study how their pro...

متن کاملEvolution of Virtual Plants Interacting with their Environment
In current virtual worlds, plants are most often represented as static objects or, at best, morphological structures endowed with a simple set of growth rules. This paper presents an enhanced plant model for virtual worlds based on Artificial Life concepts. The virtual plants capture light and assimilate minerals from the environment, and their development is ruled by a set of genetic informati...
