We review the applications of artificial life (ALife), the creation of synthetic life on computers
to study, simulate, and understand living systems. The definition and features of ALife are …

We present a review of the application of genetic programming (GP) and other variations of
evolutionary computation (EC) to the creative art of music composition. Throughout the …

Musical composition, it must be humbly admitted, does not consist in creating out of void, but
out of the accwnulated individual experiences, cultural contexts, and inherited predilections …

A transit route network design (TRND) problem for urban bus operation involves the
determination of a set of transit routes and the associated frequencies that achieve the …

Composing music is an inspired yet challenging task, in that the process involves many
considerations such as assigning pitches, determining rhythm, and arranging …

We outline a framework within which machine compositions may be evaluated objectively. In
particular, the framework allows statements about those compositions to be refuted on the …

The first demonstration of the search and optimi-zation possibilities of genetic algorithms is
related to the application of evolutionary processes to binary strings (Holland 1975; …

A new procedure is suggested to improve genetic algorithms for the prediction of structures
of nanoparticles. The strategy focuses on managing the creation of new individuals by …

Music exerts a ubiquitous influence on human cultures and daily lives. Composing music is
deemed rather complicated because it involves various factors (eg, instruments, melodies …
