    CMU Artificial Intelligence Repository

      The CMU Artificial Intelligence Repository was established by Mark Kantrowitz in 1993 to collect files, programs and publications of interest to Artificial Intelligence researchers. This repository is by any means useful, if you realy want to conduct a research on Genetic Algorithms use the available search tool.


    ANU Bioinformatics

    Illinois Genetic Algorithms Laboratory (IlliGAL)

      The work at IlliGAL includes theoretical developments and practical applications of GAs. For more information about IlliGAL investigations, see the IlliGAL ARCHIVE (orderform) which contains technical reports, journal articles, and source code.



    The Genetic Algorithms Group

      Under the direction of Kenneth A. De Jong, the Genetic Algorithms Group (GAG) at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. Group members are working on a variety of research projects including GA theory, coevolutionary algorithms, decentralized GAs, representation issues, evolutionary microeconomics, the application of GAs to molecular biology, and GA-based machine learning.
      There is a list of publications. PostScript copies of most of these papers are available online.


    Genetic Algorithms Research and Applications Group (the GARAGe)

      The GARAGe at Michigan State University is a multi-disciplinary unit interested in the application of Genetic Algorithms and Genetic Programming to real-world problems, as well as fundamental research on GA and GP. They have a number of projects including: parallelization of GAs/GPs; multiple population topologies and interchange methodologies; scheduling applications.


    Matthew's GAlib:

      This library provides the application programmer with a set of C++ genetic algorithm objects. The library includes tools for using genetic algorithms to do optimization in any C++ program. It is maintained by Matthew Wall.


    Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence

      The Association for Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence (AUAI) is a non-profit organization with the main purpose of running the annual Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence (UAI). The UAI conference has been held every year since 1985, adjacent in space-time to NCAI (the AAAI conference) or IJCAI.

    "Genetic Programming for Articulated Figure Motion"

      By Larry Gritz and James K. Hahn., Journal of Visualization and Computer Animation, vol. 6: 129-142 (1995).

      Applying the AI technique known as Genetic Programming (GP) to control the motion of articulated figures. This allows the system to automatically generate life-like motion for jointed figures. The human animator must provide a fitness function which rates the motion which the system generates.

    Rationality in Decision Machines

        ...If an agent [2] has knowledge that one of its actions will lead to one of its goals, then the agent will select that action.

      This formulation can be criticized on several grounds, foremost of which is that it embodies, logical rather than economic rationality (Doyle, 1992). But let us put aside such concerns and consider the perspective that a rationality principle of this general form takes on computing machines. The relevant output identified by this principle is an action selection. Thus, action selections, or in effect, actions, are the products of a knowledge-level machine....

    Fuzzy Logic FAQ


    What is a Fuzzy Expert System? by Eric Horstkotte


    Fuzzy archive by subject


    FuzzyCLIPS

      CLIPS is an expert system shell developed by NASA. The IIT of the NRC has developed FuzzyCLIPS, an enhanced version of CLIPS that supports Fuzzy Logic. FuzzyCLIPS is available without charge.


    Adaptive fuzzy logic using Genetic Algorithms

      Genetic-Adapt FuzzyWare (GAF) allows users to generate a fuzzy control system by simply defining the inputs, outputs, data set, and initial rule sets. GAF uses genetic algorithm to derive proper rules and fuzzy sets from the initial rules. By changing, adding, deleting rules and fuzzy membership sets, the genetic algorithm automatically adapts and optimizes the fuzzy control system.

    Neural Adaptive Control Technology (NACT)

      The Research project is a joint undertaking of Daimler-Benz (Berlin, Germany), Coordinating Partner, and Glasgow University (Glasgow, Scotland, UK). It is a three-year project, which started in April 1994.

      The Project aims at a synergy of adaptive control and neural networks. Similarities of both technologies on an abstract conceptual level constitute a basis for fundamental, engineering orientated research. Basic aspects of the fusion of technologies are investigated in the context of multiple computing agents and industrial automation environments.
