Evolutionary Modeling with Hierarchy in Innovative Computer-Aided Circuit Design

Abstract

In this article new approaches for innovative computer-aided design using evolutionary modeling are investigated. It is shown that the prominent features of evolutionary modeling in innovative design are elitism and mutation. Dynamic parameters and a dynamic coding of the genotype and phenotype for improving the evolutionary search for computer-aided design are proposed. Some examples of computer-aided circuit design are discussed.

Indexing terms:

• Evolvable hardware
