Exploring the impact of novelty and objective-directed evolution in company with MAP-Elites and HyperNEAT by Breytenbach, Jeremy

“…MAP-Elites is referred to as an illumination algorithm because by retaining these elite agents in the population, we expect to increase the chances of exploring and thus illuminating novel, yet potentially high-performing regions of the search space. To evaluate these methods, we use Keep-away, a simulated collective robotics task within the RoboCup football framework as a case study. …”

Distributed autonomous intersection management with neuro-evolution by Cherry, Matthew P

“…We further identify some areas in which to optimize the evolution method, by looking at hyper-parameters which have a computational cost but which did not produce better performance.…”

Micro combined heat and power management for a residential system by Tichagwa, Anesu

“…A model of a residential μCHP system is formulated upon which these simulated tests are conducted. From these simulations, equations to model the costs of running a fuel-cell based μCHP system are proposed. …”

Interference Management of Inband Underlay Device-toDevice Communication in 5G Cellular Networks by Boamah, Sharon Ampomaa

“…The performance of the fractional open loop power control components on SINR is studied. The simulation results portrayed that the conventional open loop power control method provides increased compensation for the path loss with higher D2D transmit power when compared with the fractional open loop power control method. …”

The effect of wing flexibility on ride comfort in formation flight by Biden, Kirsty Joy

“…The trailing wake vortices shed by the lead aircraft in formation flight were considered to have a solid core using the Burnham-Hallock Model. The optimal positioning of the trailing aircraft in a two-aircraft formation was discussed and all subsequent simulations run with the trailing vortex core initially located at the wing tip and 0.1 of a wingspan above the wing. …”
