New Principles of Unbound Embodied Evolution

Project description


Identifying new research topics, Assessing emerging global SIdentifying new research topics, Assessing emerging global trends in ICT for future FET Proactive initiatives

Evolutionary computation is an efficient optimizing and solution-generating mechanism inspired by biological evolution. It has been successfully applied in many branches ofengineering, business, artificial biological (synthetic biology) and technological (robotics) systems. Evolution-based models of computation in a broader sense are now ``invading'' newinterdisciplinary research areas in innovative fields within bio-chemistry, on-chip factories, reconfigurable and evolvable hardware, molecular computing, and pervasive adaptivesystems. The resulting systems are permanently driven by internal and/or external forces with long-term evolve-ability, unbound developmental processes, and very strong embodiment. Traditional evolutionary computing does not provide knowledge about such novel systems. The given proposal targets evolutionary and related multi-disciplinary communities, such as bio-inspired, adaptive, bio-synthetic ones, which use mechanisms of evolutionary computation. The main goal is to facilitate identification and formulation of novel research topics on the field of unbound developmental and self-developmental evolutionary processes, embodied in different real systems. Such systems are estimated to have an essential impact on science, technology and society in next years, this support activity aims to connect different communities to create also an awareness of these global trends and to focusresearchers on fundamental challenges and their impact.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: https://op.europa.eu/en/web/eu-vocabularies/euroscivoc.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
