Welcome
The Department of Informatics (subsuming the former School of Cognitive and Computing Sciences, COGS) in the University of Sussex at Brighton is home to one of the world's largest groups of researchers studying artificial evolutionary and adaptive systems. Such work is often described using names such as artificial life, evolutionary computation, and adaptive behaviour research.
Members of the Evolutionary and Adaptive Systems (EASy) group comprise research students and faculty from both Informatics and the School of Life Sciences (formerly the School of Biological Sciences, BIOLS), with very strong links to the interdisciplinary Centre for Computational Neuroscience and Robotics (CCNR). The EASy group offers an MSc degree in Evolutionary and Adaptive Systems, with funding available for outstanding applicants. As of 2010, the EASy group numbers more than 60 people from Postgraduate level upwards.
These pages give an overview of the EASy group. Follow the navigation bar links at the top of the page for information on the MSc degree in Evolutionary and Adaptive Systems (there is information for both prospective students and current students), researchers in the group, undergraduate and postgraduate courses, seminars of interest, EASy resources, publications of interest, and related research groups. The navigation links on the left give further information within each area.
