Evolutionary design using grammatical evolution and shape grammars : designing a shelter

O'Neill, Michael ; McDermott, James ; Swafford, John Mark ; Byrne, Jonathan ; Hemberg, Erik ; Brabazon, Anthony ; Shotton, Elizabeth ; McNally, Ciaran ; Hemberg, Martin (Inderscience Enterprises, 2010-04-24)

A new evolutionary design tool is presented, which uses shape grammars and a grammar-based form of evolutionary computation, grammatical evolution (GE). Shape grammars allow the user to specify possible forms, and GE allows ...
An examination on the modularity of grammars in grammatical evolutionary design

Swafford, John Mark ; O'Neill, Michael (IEEE, 2010-07)

This work furthers the understanding of modularity in grammar-based genetic programming approaches by analyzing how different grammars may be capable of producing the same phenotypes, but still display differences in ...
Higher-order functions in aesthetic EC encodings

McDermott, James ; Byrne, Jonathan ; Swafford, John Mark ; O'Neill, Michael ; Brabazon, Anthony (IEEE, 2010-07)

The use of higher-order functions, as a method of abstraction and re-use in EC encodings, has been the subject of relatively little research. In this paper we introduce and give motivation for the ideas of higher-order ...
