abstract = "Necessary for furthering the development of more
powerful evolutionary design systems, capable of
scaling to evolving more sophisticated and complex
artifacts, is the ability to meaningfully and
objectively compare these systems by applying
complexity measures to the artifacts they evolve.
Previously we have proposed measures of modularity,
reuse and hierarchy (MR&H), here we compare these
measures to ones from the fields of Complexity, Systems
Engineering and Computer Programming. In addition, we
propose several ways of combining the MR&H measures
into a single measure of structure and organization. We
compare all of these measures empirically as well as on
three sample objects and find that the best measures of
complexity are two of the proposed measures of
structure and organization.",
