Abstract
A key challenge in Evolutionary Computation is fitness landscape design. While the objective of the optimization process is often predefined, the actual fitness function, computational substrate, mutation scheme, and selection function must often be chosen by the experimenter. These choices are recognized to possibly have a large impact on experimental results. Here we investigate implementation differences of the encoding method and elaborate on its potential impact.
