Abstract

The basic principles of selectionism were transferred in a simplified form from population genetics to the field of evolutionary computation in order to solve applied problems of optimization and adaptation. Considerable practical experience has been gained for the almost half a century of development in this field of computer science, and interesting theoretical results have been obtained. One of the main properties of biological systems is modularity, which manifests itself at all levels of their organization, starting with molecular genetics and ending with entire organisms and their communities. In this survey, the phenomena and patterns associated with modularity in genetics and evolutionary computation are compared. The similarities and differences in the results from these areas of research are analyzed from the point of view of modularity, and the possibilities for sharing knowledge between them are discussed.

生物进化与进化计算中的模块化

摘要

选择主义的基本原理以简化的形式从种群遗传学转移到进化计算领域，以解决优化和适应的应用问题。在计算机科学领域近半个世纪的发展中，已经获得了相当多的实践经验，并且获得了有趣的理论结果。生物系统的主要特性之一是模块性，它在其组织的各个层次上都表现出来，从分子遗传学开始，到整个有机体及其群落结束。在这项调查中，比较了与遗传学和进化计算中的模块化相关的现象和模式。从模块化的角度分析了这些研究领域的结果的异同，
