abstract = "Since the early days of Evolvable Hardware the field
has expanded beyond the use of simple Evolutionary
Algorithms on simple electronic devices to encompass
many different combinations of Evolutionary and
Biologically Inspired Algorithms with various physical
devices (or simulations of physical devices). The field
of Evolvable Hardware can be split into the two related
areas of Evolvable Hardware Design (including
optimisation) and Adaptive Hardware (Haddow and
Tyrrell, 2011; Yao and Higuchi, 1999).
Evolvable Hardware Design is the use of Evolvable and Biologically Inspired Algorithms for creating physical devices and designs (or their optimisation); examples of fields where Evolvable Hardware Design has had some success include analogue and digital electronics, antennas, MEMS chips and optical systems as well as quantum circuits (Greenwood and Tyrrell, 2006).",
