Abstract. This poster paper summarizes our research on fault tolerance arising as a by-product of the evolutionary computation process. Past research has shown evidence of robustness emerging directly from the evolutionary process, but none has examined the large number of diverse networks we used. Despite a thorough study, the linkage between evolution and increased robustness is unclear.
