Abstract

This paper presents a methodology for producing good design solutions more efficiently. The methodology is based on augmenting a conventional evolutionary design approach with a method for improving suboptimal design solutions with a domain-specific knowledge-rich approach. This approach is based conceptually on the practice of plastic surgery, i.e. making minor adjustments to an entity, based on some desired qualities, i.e. specified fitness function. Additionally, the modifications made to the phenotype may require the re-engineering of the genotype to accord with the modified phenotype if the entity is to be used further in evolutionary operations. A method for genotype re-engineering is proposed in the domain of cellular growth generation.
