• abstract = "A new technique for saving computing resources when using Genetic Programming is presented in this work. Instead of directly fighting bloat -the main factor explaining the large computational cost required for the evaluation of generations- by acting on individuals, we apply a new operator to the whole population: the plague. By removing some individuals every generation, we compensate for the increase in size of individuals, thus saving computing time when looking for solutions.",
