First, they give an up-to-date view of the rapidly growing field of automatic creation of computer programs by means of evolution and, second, they bring together their own innovative and formidable work on evolution of assembly language machine code and linear genomes.\"" --John R. Koza\n\nSince the early 1990s, genetic programming (GP)\u2014a discipline whose goal is to enable the automatic generation of computer programs\u2014has emerged as one of the most promising paradigms for fast, productive software development.\nGP combines biological metaphors gleaned from Darwin's theory of evolution with computer-science ]
