Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The journal and in particular the resource reviews have been running for 20 years. We summarise the GP literature, including top papers and authors, as seen by users of the genetic programming bibliography. Then revisit our original goals for GPEM book reviews and compare them with what has achieved.
