Simulating evolutionary algorithms with eco-grammar systems

Abstract

Starting from an arbitrary evolutionary algorithm, we construct an eco-grammar system that simulates the EA's behavior. There are only several practical applications of eco-grammar systems and our approach tries to bring a new light in this field. We believe that our research opens a new perspective also for evolutionary algorithms that can benefit from the theoretical results obtained in the framework of eco-grammar systems. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
