abstract = "To complement standard fitness functions, we propose
{"}Fitness Importance{"} (FI) as a novel meta-heuristic
for online learning systems. We define FI and show how
it can be used to dynamically bias the population
composition in order to vary the instantaneous system
performance at a tradeoff to learning capability. The
effect of FI is demonstrated on a simple light-sensing
and light-actuating optimisation problem running on
multiple wireless sensor network devices. We also
describe how FI can be used with the In situ
Distributed Genetic Programming (IDGP) framework to
balance learning and performing for
resource-constrained computing devices which evolve
their logic continuously.",
