EvoTech>>Introduction

Complex biological (supraindividual) systems, evolution and agent-based simulation

Evolutionary Technology (EvoTech) is a new initiative of a Hungarian research group specialized in state-of-the-art computer modelling of complex and emergent biological phenomena at the supraindividual level. The main aim is to address the most problematic issues with respect to evolutionary modelling as that of growing complexity, sustained evolution, speciation and the co-existence of species, the species problem or the formation and evolution of proper food-webs within an artificial life environment.

The methodological framework is characterized by agent-based (individual-based) simulation. The work is to implement a sound and coherent theoretical approach to evolutionary processes from biology and biophilosophy.

The work is the outcome of research conducted by participants from several organizations within various scientific projects at the national and the European level. Core staff is associated with the Focus Group Philosophy and Praxis of Complex Systems at Collegium Budapest, the international Institute of Advanced Study in Budapest, Hungary. Most recent work is part of the European Project QosCosGrid supported by the 6th RTD Framework Programme of the European Commission.
