ACQUISITION OF SOFTWARE ENGINEERING KNOWLEDGE
SWEEP: An Automatic Programming System Based on Genetic Programming and Cultural Algorithms

by George S Cowan & Robert G Reynolds (Wayne State University, USA)

This is the first book that attempts to provide a framework in which to embed an automatic programming system based on evolutionary learning (genetic programming) into a traditional software engineering environment. As such, it looks at how traditional software engineering knowledge can be integrated with an evolutionary programming process in a symbiotic way.


Contents:

  • SWEEP: A System for the Software Engineering of Evolving Programs
  • The Genetic Programming Element Agents
  • The Metrics Apprentice: Using Cultural Algorithms to Formulate Quality Metrics for Software Systems
  • An Example Problem for Automatic Programming: Solving the Noisy Sine Problem with Discipulus
  • Data Collection and Analysis
  • Analysis: The Relationship of Software Metrics to Bloat
  • Defining a New Software Metric to Estimate Generalization Using the Metrics Apprentice


Readership: Computer scientists.
