• abstract = "Although much research has been devoted to devising genetic programming systems that are capable of running the evolutionary process in parallel, thereby improving execution speed, comparatively little effort has been expended on evolving programs which are themselves inherently concurrent. A suggested reason for this is that the vast number of parallel execution paths that are open to exploration during the fitness evaluation of population members renders evolutionary computation prohibitively expensive. We have therefore investigated the potential for minimising this expense by using a far more limited exploration of the execution state space to guide evolution. The approach, involving the definition of sets of schedulings to enable a variety of execution interleavings to be specified, has been applied to the classic dining philosophers problem, and has been found to evolve solutions that are as good as those created by human programmers",
