Artificial life meets computational creativity?
I review the history of work in Artificial Life on the problem of the open-ended evolutionary growth of complexity in computational worlds. This is then put into the context of evolutionary epistemology and human creativity
On the Complexity of Case-Based Planning
We analyze the computational complexity of problems related to case-based
planning: planning when a plan for a similar instance is known, and planning
from a library of plans. We prove that planning from a single case has the same
complexity than generative planning (i.e., planning "from scratch"); using an
extended definition of cases, complexity is reduced if the domain stored in the
case is similar to the one to search plans for. Planning from a library of
cases is shown to have the same complexity. In both cases, the complexity of
planning remains, in the worst case, PSPACE-complete
