Search Results for "self"

Quan is designed to model physical quantities in C++ programs. Advantages include automated dimensional analysis checking, automatic unit conversions, self documentation of code.

...One of the more unique aspects of the game is that ship power management is not as simple as filling a cube with power generation blocks. This mechanism leads to difficulties in getting maximal power generation out of such reactors. This program rectifies this issue by using a self-organizing variant of brute force search. Much of the search space is pruned early on by a user-selectable fitness function. Within a few epochs, reactor output quickly converges to several sub-optimal, yet high-output reactors. Given enough time, the idea is that the optimal reactor configuration will be yielded.

The DARPA Urban Challenge race for robot vehicles took place on Nov 3, 2007. We pose a new urban challenge: build a safe, convenient, energy efficient people mover. This site provides the hardware and software for a prototype system.

Virtual machine/emulator; "holding pen" for self-replicating programs written in custom RISC assembly-like language, evolving via random point mutations and periodic fitness-based cullings. Inspired (like Avida) by Thomas Ray's alife simulator, Tierra

...It is allowed to enter and share mock farming data, as long as it's tagged as being fantasy, to exclude it from the analyses. Things like dietary information, tiredness and bio-constructions will be included as well, to improve optimizations of a garden design with (partial) self-sufficiency in mind. The UI will resemble a garden, and can switch to simplified views.
