The Growth Process of Interactive Virtual Life using Genetic Algorithm

In this paper, we modeled a virtual life (VL) that react to the user's action according to its own behavioral characteristics and grows itself. We established some conditions with which such a VL is designed. Genetic Algorithm is used for the growth process that changes the VL's properties. In this process, the parameter values of the VL's properties are encoded as ore chromosome, and the GA operations change this chromosome. The VL's reaction to the user's action is determined by these properties as well as the general expectation of each reaction. These properties are evaluated through 5 fitness measures so as to deal with multi-objective criteria. Here, we pr...
