SYSGP - A C++ library of different GP variants

In recent years different variants of genetic programming (GP) have emerged all following the basic idea of GP, the automatic evolution of computer programs. Today, three basic forms of representation for genetic programs are used, namely tree, graph and linear structures. We introduce a multi-representation system, SYSGP, that allows researchers to experiment with different representations with only a minimum implementation overhead. The system further offers the possibility to combine modules of different representation forms into one genetic program. SYSGP has been implemented as a C++ library using templates that operate with a generic data type.
