abstract = "Genetic Improvement describes a class of search-based
techniques that automatically improve software along a
a variety of quality dimensions. In this talk, I will
survey the research advances that have made possible
the significant recent progress in this field. I will
focus on the ongoing research opportunities that lie in
genetic software improvement, with an especial focus on
the challenges of confidently reasoning about,
measuring, and assuring the quality of automatically
and constantly evolving artefacts.",
