COSC 6367 Project 3---2008

• Choose a Topic of your own liking (it has to have
  some relationship to EC or artificial life).
  Examples project in include
• What is emergent behavior and why it important
  for artificial life
• Uses of EC in the movie industry
• What are cellular automate and what can the be
  used for
• Evolving computer viruses
• The best animations for evolutionary screensavers
  and how they work
• Survey on popular classifier system approaches
• Something interesting about EC that you like to
  share
• Evolutionary art
• Survey on research on classifier systems
• Groups of 2-4 student collaborate the preferable
  group size is 3 no groups 5 or larger!
• Create a website (a set of webpages) that
  summarizes your findings and present your project
  results in a presentation on Tu., April 29, 2007,
  230-430p (likely there will be no class on
  April 24). Groups of 2 give an 8 minute
  presentation, groups of 3 give an 11-minute
  presentation, groups of 4 give a 14-minute
  presentation.
• The webpage can be a summary, a tutorial, an
  annotated directory refering 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.
• The tentative weights for the 3 projects are as
  follow P11, P21. P30.45 these are subject to
  change
