The Genetic Programming Software Paradigm

A description of HiGP and the code for successor software MidGP [Spector and Stoffel], some of many wonderful genetic programming thingies accessible via the home page of genetic programming researcher Lee Spector

Here's Sean Luke's "patched up" version of the lil-gp kernel genetic programming library in C++, which, he says, has "merely 'atomic' strong typing". For the Java fans, here's also his "A Java-based Evolutionary Computation and Genetic Programming Research System" (ECJ) which he describes as having a better strong typing system. The latter page also contains his list of other Java Bytecode GP systems. Sean's graduated (huzzah, kudos) and moved to another university CS department to teach, so these sites' survival chances at these URLs are unclear. Try clicking on his name above to get to his new home page if these links go sour.

Johan Parent's PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine?) port "Parallel Lil-Gp" may be found by beginning here, supposedly with strong (atomic) typing as another of its features besides parallelism.

An FTP directory of /genetic/gp-code at the University of London, Centre for Communications Systems Research. This is a Java .jar file of genetic programming code. There is a huge open software resource two levels up.

Genetic Programming in Java from Russell Wallace, gives access to his stoner.zip (Go) and aeon.zip (co-evolution) demos. See also his Lithos: an evolutionary computation system, available as C source code or as a Windows executable.

Hansueli Gerber's (perhaps superseded) Home; (better to start here). Author of a very nice genetic programming curve fitting demo (modelled after John Koza's writeup) with a fantastic population histogram widget which provokes lust for the Java simple symbolic regression applet's source code.
