Project: Evolving Cooperating Agents using Team-Based Fitness Assessment
Supervisor(s): Luigi Barone and Lyndon While
Project status: complete semester 2, 2004


One application of evolutionary computation is developing agents which play in team-based games. It is often beneficial for each agent in a team to specialise in a different role within the team. In this project, we examine several methods of evolving such specialisation by assessing agents as members of teams, and compare their performance in evolving solutions to a simulation of an immune system. We show that by evolving a population of teams, rather than a population of individuals, we can significantly improve the performance of evolutionary algorithms in evolving teams of diverse, cooperating agents.
