Re: [Torcs-devel] Running TORCS programatically

[Daniele L. <dan...@gm...>]

Dear Miroslav,

I am a postdoc researcher at Politecnico di Milano.
We have been organizing since 2008 several scientific competitions involving
TORCS, where researchers applies learning and evolutionary systems to
develop controllers.
We slighlty modified TORCS and introduced some features like non graphical
simulations.
In addition, we developed a client/server API to let people program or
evolve their controllers more easily (and using also Java if they are more
comfortable with).

You can find more details here: http://cig.ws.dei.polimi.it/?page_id=134

For a list of papers on these topics, you can see this page:
http://home.dei.polimi.it/cardamone/mypage/
In addition, you can check the list of papers accepted at CEC and CIG
conferences in the last 2 years for more papers on TORCS.

Best,
Daniele Loiacono
