abstract = "Human designers and optimisation codes are very good
at improving the performance of existing designs;
however, due to time and resource constraints, human
designers tend to limit the range of alternative
configurations considered. This paper presents a
methodology, called genetic design (GD), to aid the
designer by generating viable design alternatives. GD
uses formal grammars for artifact description and
representation, evaluates the artifacts automatically,
and manipulates the representations with genetic
programming - like operations. GD can explore a wide
breadth of the available design space, though at
shallow depth, and presents alternatives to the human
designer. The combination of GD's ability to explore
the design space and the human engineer's ability to
optimize existing configurations promotes the
production of viable new design concepts by avoiding
the inefficiencies associated with trial-and-error
methods. This paper explores one application of GD: the
design of simple truss bridges.",
