Abstract

In this paper we discuss the evolution of several components of a traditional Evolutionary Algorithm, such as genotype to phenotype mappings and genetic operators, presenting a formalized description of how this can be attained. We then focus on the evolution of mapping functions, for which we present experimental results achieved with a meta-evolutionary scheme.
