title = "A heuristiclab evolutionary algorithm for FINCH",
abstract = "We present a HeuristicLab plugin for FINCH. FINCH (Fertile Darwinian Bytecode Harvester) is a system designed to evolutionarily improve actual, extant software, which was not intentionally written for the purpose of serving as a GP representation in particular, nor for evolution in general. This is in contrast to existing work that uses restricted subsets of the Java bytecode instruction set as a representation language for individuals in genetic programming. The ability to evolve Java programs will hopefully lead to a valuable new tool in the software engineer's toolkit.",
