Abstract

In this paper, we propose a general idea of Cellular Evolutionary Computation (CEC). CEC is Evolutionary Computation that solves the optimization problems with real DNA molecules and cells. The easiest means of cellular evolution is achieved by adding some genes to the main frame of gene network in the cell. However, in some cases it is necessary to optimize the gene parameters to achieve a desirable gene network output. We are working toward a realization of Evolutionary Computation algorithm to deal with the network optimization problems. We also suggest a novel method to realize a crossover operator for CEC via homologous recombination system within bacterial cells. Our ultimate objective of this study is the achievement of gene network evolution of the cell. We suggest an idea of cell-based computing that the cell-related problems are addressed by their related cells.
