Dynamic and Partial Reconfiguration allows systems to change some parts of their hardware at run time. This feature favours the inclusion of evolutionary strategies to provide optimised solutions to the same problem so that they can be mixed and compared in a way that only the best ones prevail. At the same time, distributed intelligence permits systems to work in a collaborative way to jointly improve their global capabilities. This work presents a combination of both approaches where hardware evolution is performed both at local and network level in order to improve an image filter application in terms of performance, robustness and providing the capacity of avoiding local minimums, which is the main drawback of some evolutionary approaches.
