Abstract
This book is about Grammatical Evolution (GE), an approach to Genetic Programming that allows the generation of computer programs in an arbitrary language. GE exploits a rich modularity in its design that results in a highly flexible and easy to use system. GE owes this design and, consequently, its most powerful features to inspiration from biological systems. There are two main themes to the book; the first being the adoption of phenomena from molecular biology in a simple and useful manner, and the second being the use of grammars to specify legal structures in a search.
