Abstract

Inspired by the virulence of natural parasites, a novel approach is developed to tackle disengagement, a detrimental phenomenon coevolutionary systems sometimes experience [1]. After demonstrating beneficial results in a simple model, minimum comparison sorting networks are coevolved, with results suggesting that moderating parasite virulence can help in practical problem domains.
