abstract = "While most hyper-heuristics search for a heuristic
that is later used to solve classes of problems,
autoconstructive evolution represents an alternative
which simultaneously searches both heuristic and
solution space. In this study we contrast
autoconstructive evolution, in which intergenerational
variation is accomplished by the evolving programs
themselves, with a genetic programming system, PushGP,
to understand the dynamics of this hybrid approach. A
problem size scaling analysis of these genetic
programming techniques is performed on structural
problems. These problems involve fewer domain-specific
features than most model problems while maintaining
core features representative of program search. We use
two such problems, Order and Majority, to study
autoconstructive evolution in the Push programming
language.",
