 I am a First year phd student. I like to work with algorithms and theoretical stuff, as well as Machine Learning and all its experimental applications. I consider Artificial Life as one of those things you will have to be familiar with in the future, so it is best to start early on.

+__**Abstract:**__
+In the Movable Feast Machine, direct interaction is limited to small regions of space, but many computations could benefit from larger scale structure.  This paper presents a simple aggregation and localization strategy allowing individuals to form communicating groups and find their own absolute positions within the group.  We demonstrate X and Y which are great and also explore Z which is bad but we mitigate that with W.  Thank you.
+This paper explores large scale communication in an artificial life setting.  We propose and analyse a simple communication protocol that allows for individuals to be aware of regions beyond their own neighborhood.  We claim that by using our protocol, the overhead in the elements is small and the individuals gain awareness of the universe with some confidence level. Moreover, We found out complexity and unexpected patterns can arise when communication channels outside certain specified neighborhood are provided, which demonstrates that non-local interactions have a large impact on the overall state of the simulation.
