<P>THESE CONTRIBUTIONS, WRITTEN BY THE FOREMOST INTERNATIONAL RESEARCHERS AND PRACTITIONERS OF GENETIC PROGRAMMING (GP), EXPLORE THE SYNERGY BETWEEN THEORETICAL AND EMPIRICAL RESULTS ON REAL-WORLD PROBLEMS, PRODUCING A COMPREHENSIVE VIEW OF THE STATE OF THE ART IN GP. TOPICS IN THIS VOLUME INCLUDE: EXPLOITING SUBPROGRAMS IN GENETIC PROGRAMMING, SCHEMA FREQUENCIES IN GP, ACCESSIBLE AI, GP FOR BIG DATA, LEXICASE SELECTION, SYMBOLIC REGRESSION TECHNIQUES, CO-EVOLUTION OF GP AND LCS, AND APPLYING ECOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES TO GP. IT ALSO COVERS SEVERAL CHAPTERS ON BEST PRACTICES AND LESSONS LEARNED FROM HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE.
