a new evolutionary computing model based on cellular learning automata

in this paper a new evolutionary computing model called CLA-EC is proposed this new model is a combination of a model called cellularlearning automata CLA and the evolutionary model in this new model each genome is assigned to a cell of cellular learning automata to each of which a se t of learning automata is assigned . the set of actions selected by the set of automata associated to a cell determines the genome'sstringfor that cell based on a local rule a reinforcement signal vector is generated and given to the set learning automata residing in the cell.based on the received signal each learning automaton updates its internal structure according to a learning algorithm
