Abstract

This paper applies object-oriented concepts to genetic programming (GP) in order to improve the ability of GP to scale to larger problems. A technique called Basic Object-Oriented GP (Basic OOGP) is proposed that manipulates object instances incorporated in a computer program being represented as a linear array. Basic OOGP is applied to the even-parity problem and compared to GP, Liquid State GP and Traceless GP. The results indicate that OOGP can solve certain problems with smaller populations and fewer generations.
