This paper explores the use of growth processes, or embryogenies, to map genotypes to phenotypes within evolutionary systems. Following a summary of the significant features of em...
From the user’s point of view, setting the parameters of a genetic algorithm (GA) is far from a trivial task. Moreover, the user is typically not interested in population sizes,...
Crossover operators that preserve common components can also preserve representation level constraints. Consequently, these constraints can be used to beneficially reduce the sea...
Infrastructure management offices plan and complete several thousand small construction projects annually. Effective planning is vital if the public and private sectors are to mai...
This paper uses the GP paradigm to evolve linear genotypes (individuals) that consist of Java byte code. Our prototype GP system is implemented in Java using a standard Java devel...
