Abstract

The goal of research in evolutionary systems is to establish technologies for building highly complex functional systems using evolutionary apporachs. Ideally, such a system should exhibit a certain level of ’intelligence.’ Evolvable hardware research is an effort to accomplish direct hardware implementation of such a system. In this paper, we analyze fundermental problems in current resaerch and provide perspectives for evolving intelligent systems.
