abstract = "an information theoretic perspective on design and
analysis of evolutionary algorithms is presented.
Indicators of solution quality are developed and
applied not only to individuals but also to ensembles,
thereby ensuring information diversity. Prices Theorem
is extended to show how joint indicators can drive
reproductive sampling rate of potential parental
pairings. Heritability of mutual information is
identified as a key issue",
