abstract = "We present a Genetic Programming approach to evolve
cooperative controllers for teams of UAVs. Our focus is
a collaborative search mission in an uncertain and/or
hostile environment. The controllers are decision trees
constructed from a set of low-level functions. Evolved
decision trees are robust to changes in initial mission
parameters and approach the optimal bound for
time-to-completion. We compare results between
steady-state and generational approaches, and examine
the effects of two common selection operators.",
