Research in Computer Science Seminar (RICSS) for Friday, October 2, 2009

[Gregory M. Kapfhammer]

Hello Everyone,

You are cordially invited to attend the upcoming session of the
Research in Computer Science Seminar (RICSS). Please pass this
invitation on to other students, staff, and faculty members who
would be interested in attending the upcoming talk.

Date: Friday, October 2, 2009
Location: Campus Center Room 302
Time: 12:15 - 1:15

Presenters:

Radu Creanga and Robert S. Roos
Department of Computer Science
Allegheny College

Title:

Points of Interest Along the Santa Fe Ant Trail

Abstract:

Genetic Programming (GP) is a technique for evolving populations
of computer programs using principles of natural selection. One
famous benchmark of GP performance involves finding a program to
control an artificial ant to maximize its food-gathering
abilities within a fixed domain. Grammatical Evolution (GE) is a
form of grammar-based genetic programming. Our primary interest
in GE lies in the realm of generative and developmental
systems. Since GE is based on grammars we are hoping to use a
grammatical structure called an L-system to develop techniques
that will allow us to generalize solutions to ant problems to
make them scale to domains of many different sizes.

All are welcome to attend!
