abstract = "The idea of a memetic spread of solutions through a
human culture in parallel to their development is
applied as a distributed approach to learning. Local
parts of a problem are associated with a set of
overlapping localities in a space and solutions are
then evolved in those localities. Good solutions are
not only crossed with others to search for better
solutions but also they propagate across the areas of
the problem space where they are relatively successful.
Thus the whole population co-evolves solutions with the
domains in which they are found to work. This approach
is compared to the equivalent global evolutionary
computation approach with respect to predicting the
occurrence of heart disease in the Cleveland data set.
It outperforms a global approach, but the space of
attributes within which this evolutionary process
occurs can greatly effect the efficiency of the
technique.",
