abstract = "This paper introduces GADS, a technique for genetic
programming where the genotype is distinct from the
phenotype. The GADS genotype is a list of integers
representing productions in a syntax. This is used to
generate the phenotype, which is a program in the
language defined by the syntax. Syntactically invalid
phenotypes cannot be generated, though there may be
phenotypes with residual nonterminals. GADS can be
implemented on a traditional genetic algorithm. The
paper describes an experiment to decide whether GADS is
feasible and to explore the effect of some variables on
its performance. The results show that GADS can be more
efficient than traditional tree-based genetic
programming.
