Computational Phenomena Occurring Solving the Binary Quadratic Assignment Problem

Ian Davidson

Abstract
     Computational phenomena occurring, whilst solving the binary quadratic assignment problem using simulated annealing, is investigated. The presence of phenomena such as self-organisation and emergent computation are searched for in both the optimisation process and the solutions. Implicit emergent computation is shown to be facilitated by a simple perturbation operator. The potential for application of this research is discussed.
