This paper presents a genetic programming based evolutionary strategy for on-line adaptive learnable evolvable hardware. genetic programming can be useful control method for evolvable hardware for its unique tree structured chromosome. However it is difficult to represent tree structured chromosome on hardware, and it is difficult to use crossover operator on hardware. Therefore, genetic programming is not so popular as genetic algorithms in evolvable hardware community in spite of its possible strength. We propose a chromosome representation methods and a hardware implementation method that can be helpful to this situation. Our method uses context switchable identical block structure to implement genetic tree on evolvable hardware. We composed an evolutionary strategy (or evolvable hardware by combining proposed method with other's striking research results. Proposed method is applied to the autonomous mobile robots cooperation problem to verify its usefulness.

This study suggests a general paradigm enhancing genetic mutability. Mutability among heterogeneous members in a genetic population has been a major problem in application of genetic programming to diverse business problems. This suggested paradigm is implemented to developing new methods from existing methods. Within the evolutionary approach taken to designing new methods, a general representation scheme of the genetic programming framework, called a kernel, is introduced. The kernel is derived from the literature of algorithms and heuristics for combinatorial optimization problems. The commonality and differences among these methods have been identified and again combined by following the genetic inheritance merging them. The kernel was tested for selected methods in combinatorial optimization. It not only duplicates the methods in the literature, it also confirms that each of the possible solutions from the genetic mutation is in a valid form, a running program. This evolutionary method suggests diverse hybrid methods in the form of complete programs through evolutionary processes. It finally summarizes its findings from genetic simulation with insight.

3개 이상의 DNA 혹은 단백질의 염기서열을 정렬하는 복수 염기서열 정렬(multiple sequence alignment)방법은 염기서열들 사이의 진화관계, gene regulation, 단백질의 구조와 기능에 관한 연구에 필수적인 도구이다. 복수 염기서열 정렬문제는 NP-complete 문제군에 속하며, 이 문제를 해결하기 위하여 가장 유용하게 사용되는 알고리즘으로는 dynamic programming이 있다. Dynamic programming은 주어진 입력 염기서열 군들에 대한 최적의 정렬을 생산할 수 있다. 그러나 dynamic programming의 단점은 오랜 실행시간이 요구되며, 때로는 dynamic programming의 속성 때문에 이 알고리즘을 사용하여도 주어진 입력 염기서열 군들에 대한 최적의 정렬을 얻어내지 못하는 경우가 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 dynamic programming의 문제를 해결하기 위하여 genetic algorithm을 복수 염기서열 정렬문제에 적용하였다. 본 논문에서는 genetic algorithm의 design과 적용방법을 기술하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 genetic algorithm을 사용하여 dynamic programming의 단점이었던 오랜 실행시간을 줄일 수 있었으며, dynamic programming이 제공하지 못하는 최적의 염기서열 정렬을 제공할 수 있었다.

Evolutionary computation techniques can solve search problems using simulated evolution based on the ‘survival of the fittest’. Recently, the genetic programming (GP) which evolves computer programs using the genetic algorithm was introduced. In this paper, the genetic programming technique is used in order to design a rule based controller consisting of condition-action rules for an unknown system. No a priori knowledge about the structure of the controller is needed. Representation of a solution, functions and terminals in GP are analyzed, and a method of constructing a fuzzy logic controller using the obtained rule based controller is described. A simulation example using a nonlinear system shows the validity and efficiency of the proposed method.

For a class of nonlinear bilevel programming problems in which the follower's problem is linear, the paper develops a genetic algorithm based on the optimality conditions of linear programming. At first, we denote an individual by selecting a base of the follower's linear programming, and use the optimality conditions given in the simplex method to denote the follower's solution functions. Then, the follower's problem and variables are replaced by these optimality conditions and the solution functions, which makes the original bilevel programming become a single-level one only including the leader's variables. At last, the single-level problem is solved by using some classical optimization techniques, and its objective value is regarded as the fitness of the individual. The numerical results illustrate that the proposed algorithm is efficient and stable.

This paper introduces GP(Genetic Programming) based corner detectors for an image processing. Various empirical algorithms have been studied to improve computational speed and accuracy including typical approaches, such as Harris and SUSAN. The these techniques are highly efficient, because properties of corner points are inspected and reflected into the algorithms. However these approaches are limited in discovering an innovative algorithm. In this study, we try to discover a more efficient technique by creating corner detector automatically using evolution of GP. The proposed method is compared to the existing corner detectors for test images.

The weight estimation of floating offshore structures such as FPSO, TLP, semi-Submersibles, Floating Offshore Wind Turbines etc. in the preliminary design, is one of direct measures of both construction cost and basic performance. Through both literature investigation and internet search, the weight data of floating offshore structures such as FPSO and TLP was collected. In this study, the weight estimation model with the genetic programming was suggested for FPSO. The weight estimation model using genetic programming was established by fixing the independent variables based on this data. In addition, the correlation analysis was performed to make up for the weak points of genetic programming; it is apt to induce over-fitting when the number of data is relatively smaller than that of independent variables. That is, by reducing the number of variables through the analysis of the correlation between the independent variables, the increasing effect in the number of weight data can be expected. The reliability of the developed weight estimation model was within 2% of error rate.

This paper introduces GP(Genetic Programming) based color detection model for an object detection and tracking. Existing color detection methods have used linear/nonlinear transformatin of RGB color-model and improved color model for illumination variation by optimization or learning techniques. However, most of cases have difficulties to classify various of colors because of interference of among color channels and are not robust for illumination variation. To solve these problems, we propose illumination robust and non-parametric multi-colors detection model using evolution of GP. The proposed method is compared to the existing color-models for various colors and images with different lighting conditions.

In Korea, most of small fishing vessels whose lengths are under 24m frequently cause maritime accidents due to flood and capsize. In this situation, however, there are no stability criteria and data for small fishing vessels. In this paper, the authors investigated data of 10 real ships which were built since 1990, and derived equations for evaluating ship's stability using Genetic Programming. Also, the validity of GM estimation using Genetic Programming was shown with comparison of GM value by GM value by foreign standards. More data of real ships are needed for the application of these theory to ship design process.

We explore the use of genetic programming to evolve decision trees directly for classification problems with both discrete and continuous predictors. We demonstrate that the derived hypotheses of standard algorithms can substantially deviated from the optimum. This deviation is partly due to their top-down style procedures. The performance of the system is measured on a set of real and simulated data sets and compared with the performance of well-known algorithms like CHAID, CART, C5.0, and QUEST. Proposed algorithm seems to be effective in handling problems caused by top-down style procedures of existing algorithms.
