Summary

A Semantic Model for Evolutionary Computation. Christian Veenhuis, Katrin Franke and Mario Köppen. In Proc. 6th International Conference on Soft Computing (IIZUKA), Iizuka, Fukuoka, Japan, 2000.

Abstract

We propose a semantic model for evolutionary computation, which supports the rapid design of a huge variety of evolutionary-algorithm-structures and can be represented in XML. Moreover, a designed evolutionary-computationmodel can also be used as compiler input to generate ready to use object-oriented code covering the adequate evolutionarycomputation- functionality as well as for documentation and exchanging the realised algorithm. The basic concept of the model is founded in a such called component hierarchy, where operators and basic algorithms are handled as programmable nodes of a structural tree and where the structural tree describes the computation flow. Within this paper the description of the semantic model is presented followed by a detailed example. It will be shown howthe proposed approach enables a more abstract handling of the evolutionary algorithms, and how it speeds up the algorithm design. Also, it will be presented how rapid structural changes of the evolutionary algorithm might be performed by simple changing the operator hierarchy or by the replacement of the programmable nodes.
