Abstract

This article describes the DARWIN Project, which is a Genetic Algorithm programming language and its C Cross-Compiler. The primary aim of this project is to facilitate experimentation of Genetic Algorithm solution representations, operators and parameters by requiring just a minimal set of definitions and automatically generating most of the program code. The syntax of the DARWIN language and an implementational overview of the the cross-compiler will be presented. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with Genetic Algorithms, Programming Languages and Compilers.
