Abstract
In this chapter we give a more detailed description of genetic operators, and in particular of selection. We will also introduce a more advanced evolutionary method called Genetic Programming, which makes use of complex, variable-sized individual representations. Finally, we will discuss the possibilities that arise when there is a topological structure in the evolving populations.
