.... Evolution The use of artificial evolution to achieve engineering goals has been discussed at least since Holland published on the topic [1] Much later, the concept of aesthetic evolution , was illustrated by Dawkins Blind Watchmaker software, which accompanied his book of the same name [2]. The concept behind the code was simple a small population of visual representations (phenotypes) produced from a set of numbers (genotypes) are displayed on screen. A user selects a pleasing phenotype which gives rise to a new generation whose genotypes are produced by mutation from that of ....

....that, the taxonomy is used to analyse the behaviour of water in garden fountains (section 4) The paper concludes with a brief discussion (sections 5,6) 2. 0 Previous work Existing work of relevance includes studies of single processes such as Dawkin s explanations of the evolutionary process [3]. However, more broadly based research assembling descriptions of physical processes with attempts to explain how they mesh also exist, especially when linking physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics and mental processes. Some notable exceptions to the here today, gone tomorrow writings of ....

....are clearly defined. Within this thesis, different methods for creating objective functions and handling constraints are presented, see chapter 4 and 6. Optimization could however be conducted without an explicit objective function, for example by an iterative genetic algorithm as in Dawkins [18] and Smyth [80] or by active expert involvement as in Paper [XII] Within this thesis however, the focus is on optimization with explicitly stated objective functions. The generation of new solutions depends on the optimization strategy. Within this thesis two different optimization methods are ....
....out there waiting to be found. Surely, there is nothing creative about searching a small space, but the solution space could be huge, and as it gets larger, increasingly sophisticated search methods are needed in order to find the best or even a good solution. In The Blind Watchmaker, Dawkins [18] describes evolution as a creative process where predefined designs are found. In Kroo et al. 45] a genetic algorithm invents the C shaped wing. Schrage has also discovered the powers of evolution. In his book Serious Play [73] he states that: In many respects, evolution is the ultimate ....

....increasing circuit complexity. A great deal of effort has been devoted by the research community to the development of suitable design automation tools. Evolutionary algorithms are a broad class of optimization methods inspired by Biology, that build on the key concept of Darwinian evolution [3, 5]. After some successful applications of evolutionary algorithms to physical design (partitioning, placement and routing) now the same techniques are being considered also for structural design. This has given rise to an innovative field of research, called evolvable hardware [8, 19, 17] ....

....fitness. This has been referred to as aesthetic evolutionary design (AED) 7] AED can provide a very worthwhile design exploration tool for many design domains, as can be seen by the numerous systems which have made use of the technique. Following Dawkins biologically inspired Biomorphs program [19] which evolved 2D insect like drawings, Todd, Latham [40] and Sims [36] were the first to evolve computer graphics objects via aesthetic selection.
