Computer programming evolutionary

In view of such developments, it is not surprising that there have been several attempts in 1985-1989 to reconsider the evolutionary relationships. The approach in many studies has been to construct parsimony trees using methods and computer programs based essentially on the maximum parsimony methods of Farris (1970, 1972) or Fitch and Mar-... 

The mind is like a computer program shaped by a genetic algorithm. It works, and works well, but it is hard to say how, and even harder to find out what its components are, to the extent that they exist at all. This may help to explain why psychology has, so far, not been a cumulative science, and why our attempts to discover the structure of the mind, and the structure of intelligence, are so difficult. If this is correct, an evolutionary approach, even though it may not lead us to discrete mental modules, may provide the key to understanding the mind s functional structure, and the neural mechanisms that mediate those functions. 

Kicinger was extremely happy and proud when he discovered that his computer program (based on his evolutionary developmental algorithm) has developed several designs in which macrobracings were used. In this way, the creative power of computational bioinspiration was demonstrated. 

In class 1 type problems, the description of environment and specification is complete and the problem is completely described. However, in most cases, there are too many candidates of feasible solutions due to combinatorial explosion. Eor this type of problems, evolutionary computation methods, such as genetic algorithms, genetic programming, evolutionary strategies, and evolutionary programming, have been successfully applied. 

The processes of optimum-seeking have been remarkably successful in lots of real-world phenomena, such as human evolution, food-seeking of ant colonies, and improvisation of musicians. By using stochastic heuristic individual searches and generation processes, these phenomena work toward a perfect individual to fill a particular environmental niche. It is naturally expected that evolutionary optimization processes can be created by modeling the behaviors of these phenomena. The evolutionary optimization techniques were thus developed to perform this function, which mimics the optimum-seeking processes of these phenomena in a computer program. 

The main mentor of GP is John Koza who originally intended to use evolutionary computing to actually evolve computer programs automatically (1992).

Evolutionary computation which is learned by watching population dynamics the most important programming are genetic algorithms which are inspired by the evolutionary processes of mutation, recombination, and natural selection in biology.
