--- abstract: 'The field of language evolution and computation may benefit from using efficient and robust simulation tools that are based on widely exploited principles within the field. The tool presented in this paper is one that could fulfil such needs. The paper presents an overview of the tool -- THSim v3.2 -- and discusses some research questions that can be investigated with it.' altloc: - http://www.ling.ed.ac.uk/~paulv/publications/ecal2003thsim.pdf chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: '7th European Conference on Artificial Life, ECAL 2003' confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: Vogt given: Paul honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 2003 date_type: published datestamp: 2003-07-16 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/30/58 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 3058 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png;/3058/1/ecal2003thsim.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: inpress issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: 'symbol grounding, language evolution, language games, simulation toolkit' lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:55:18 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: The THSim simulation toolkit is downloadable from http://www.ling.ed.ac.uk/~paulv/thsim.html number: ~ pagerange: ~ pubdom: FALSE publication: ~ publisher: Springer-Verlag refereed: TRUE referencetext: ~ relation_type: [] relation_uri: [] reportno: ~ rev_number: 12 series: ~ source: ~ status_changed: 2007-09-12 16:48:11 subjects: - comp-sci-lang - ling-comput - comp-sci-art-intel - comp-sci-robot succeeds: ~ suggestions: ~ sword_depositor: ~ sword_slug: ~ thesistype: ~ title: 'THSim v3.2: The Talking Heads simulation tool' type: confpaper userid: 4180 volume: ~
