Evolutionary Technology: A REPAST-Based Causal Approach          
work in progress, read but don't quote

A REPAST based simulation developed in cooperation with Laszlo Gulyas, Harvard (USA) and SZTAKI (Hungary).


The Project
Can you evolve an increasing number of species in a developing ecosystem so that they perform an increasing range of
different tasks? Current evolutionary simulations cannot do this (here is why). We try an alternative sugggestion.

The model is currently in phase vII.-1.0. (2003. July.27.) To test it, you need to install REPAST and JBuilder Personal (free version).
