Christoph F. Eick COSC 6367 Project 2 ---2010 n n n Choose a Topic of your own liking (it has to have some relationship to EC or artificial life). Examples project themes include: – Ant Colony Optimization – Uses of EC in the movie industry – What are cellular automata and what can the be used for – Evolving computer viruses – Uses of EC to solve complex optimization problems – Survey on popular classifier system approaches – Evolutionary art – Using EC for Probabilistic Model-Building – Apply Genetic Programming to a problem of your own liking – Application of EC to engineering design (e. g. Antenna design) Groups of 2 -3 student collaborate; no groups 4 or larger! Create a website (a set of webpages) that summarizes your findings and present your project results in a presentation in the first half of April; Groups of 2 give an 10 minute presentation, groups of 3 give an 15 minute presentation. The webpage can be a summary, a tutorial, an annotated directory referring to other web-pages, a hyperlinked Powerpoint presentation, a set of animations of algorithms at work, … My preference is that you create some small amount of material of high quality rather than creating a lot of material of low or medium quality. Important Dates: Deadline: Sa. , April 10, 11 p; most student presentations will be on April 12
