Abstract | This paper describes a study of the evolution of distributed behavior, specifically the control of agents in a mobile ad hoc network, using neuroevolution. In neuroevolution, a population of artificial neural networks (ANNs) are subject to mutation and natural selection. For this study, we compare three different neuroevolutionary systems: a direct encoding, an indirect encoding, and an indirect encoding that supports heterogeneity. Multiple variations of each of these systems were tested on a problem where agents were able to coordinate their collective behavior. Specifically, movement of agents in a simulated physics environment affected which agents were able to communicate with each other. The results of experiments indicate that this is a challenging problem domain for neuroevolution, and although direct and indirect encodings tended to perform similarly in our tests, the strategies employed by indirect encodings tended to favor stable, cohesive groups, while the direct encoding versions appeared more stochastic in nature. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
