Ant-Based Load Balancing in Telecommunications Networks

Ruud Schoonderwoerd, Owen Holland, Janet Bruten et al. · 1 Jan 1997

This article describes a novel method of achieving load balancing in telecommunications networks. A simulated network models a typical distribution of calls between nodes; nodes carrying an excess of traffic can become congested, causing calls to be lost. In addition to calls, the network also supports a population of simple mobile agents with behaviors modeled…

Evolving Dynamical Neural Networks for Adaptive Behavior

Randall D. Beer, John C. Gallagher · 1 Jun 1992

We would like the behavior of the artificial agents that we construct to be as well-adapted to their environments as natural animals are to theirs. Unfortunately, designing controllers with these properties is a very difficult task. In this article, we demonstrate that continuous-time recurrent neural networks are a viable mechanism for adaptive agent control and…

The Dynamics of Active Categorical Perception in an Evolved Model Agent

Randall D. Beer · 1 Dec 2003

Notions of embodiment, situatedness, and dynamics are increasingly being debated in cognitive sci ence. However, these debates are often carried out in the absence of concrete examples. In order to build intuition, this paper explores a model agent to illustrate how the perspective and tools of dynam ical systems theory can be applied to the…

Defining Agency: Individuality, Normativity, Asymmetry, and Spatio-temporality in Action

Xabier E. Barandiaran, Ezequiel A. Di Paolo, Marieke Rohde · 23 Sep 2009

The concept of agency is of crucial importance in cognitive science and artificial intelligence, and it is often used as an intuitive and rather uncontroversial term, in contrast to more abstract and theoretically heavily weighted terms such as intentionality , rationality, or mind. However, most of the available definitions of agency are too loose or…

Incremental Evolution of Complex General Behavior

Faustino Gomez, Risto Miikkulainen · 1 Jan 1997

Several researchers have demonstrated how complex action sequences can be learned through neuroevolution (i.e., evolving neural networks with genetic algorithms). However, complex general behavior such as evading predators or avoiding obstacles, which is not tied to specific environments, turns out to be very difficult to evolve. Often the system discovers mechanical strategies, such as moving…

Adaptive Behavior template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Adaptive Behavior format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Adaptive Behavior template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official SAGE format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Adaptive Behavior use?
Adaptive Behavior uses Author–year (Harvard) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B. and Lee, C. (2023) 'A representative article title', Adaptive Behavior, 12(3), pp. 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Adaptive Behavior?
No. DocuGuru generates the sagej LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a SAGE-ready Adaptive Behavior document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Adaptive Behavior template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Adaptive Behavior format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Adaptive Behavior?
Adaptive Behavior is a multidisciplinary journal published by SAGE. DocuGuru's Adaptive Behavior template matches SAGE's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Adaptive Behavior PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Adaptive Behavior template (the sagej class) that is ready to submit to SAGE, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Adaptive Behavior template cost?
You can start writing in the Adaptive Behavior template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Adaptive Behavior PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
