Abstract
As programmers, we like to think of software as the product of our intelligent design, carefully crafted to meet well-specified goals. In reality, software evolves inadvertently through the actions of many individual programmers, often leading to unanticipated consequences. Large complex software systems are subject to constraints similar to those faced by evolving biological systems, and we have much to gain by viewing software through the lens of evolutionary biology. The talk will highlight recent research that applies the mechanisms of evolution quite directly to the problem of repairing software bugs.

The case for evolvable software
OOPSLA '10: Proceedings of the ACM international conference on Object oriented programming systems languages and applicationsAs programmers, we like to think of software as the product of our intelligent design, carefully crafted to meet well-specified goals.

Evolvable computing by means of evolvable components
This paper deals with an emerging type of computing – evolvable computing. In evolvable computing solutions to problems dynamically evolve during system's lifespan either as programs for a universal computer or configurations for a physical reconfigurable ...
Technologies for Evolvable Software Products: The Conflict between Customizations and Evolution
Advances in Software EngineeringA <em>software product</em> is software that is built for nobody in particular but is sold multiple times. A software product is typically highly customizable, or adaptable, to particular use contexts; moreover, such a software product can typically be ...
