abstract = "The use of segmented populations (Islands) has proved to be advantageous for Genetic Programming (GP). This paper discusses the application of segmentation and migration strategies to a system for Linear Genetic Programming (LGP). Besides revisiting migration topologies, a modification for migration strategies is proposed --- migration delay. It is found that highly connected topologies yield better results than those with segments coupled more loosely, and that migration delays can further improve the effect of migration.",
