title = "Coevolving communication and cooperation for lattice formation tasks",
abstract = "Reactive multiagent systems are shown to coevolve with explicit communication and cooperative behavior to solve lattice formation tasks. Comparable agents that lack the ability to communicate and cooperate are shown to be unsuccessful in solving the same tasks. The agents without any centralized supervision develop a communication protocol with a mutually agreed upon signaling scheme to share sensor data between a pair of individuals. The control system for these agents consists of identical cellular automata handling communication, cooperation and motion subsystems. Shannon's entropy function was used as a fitness evaluator to evolve the desired cellular automata. The results are derived from computer simulations.",
