Preface
Around 1990, I learned about GP (Genetic Programming) and developed interest in this area shortly after learning about GAs (Genetic Algorithms). At that time, the term GP was not yet established, and the concept was denoted by terms such as structural GA and tree representation GA [1–3]. Since I had been researching AI so far, I presumed that the only goal of GA was optimization (my opinion has changed since), and I considered GA to be somewhat unsatisfactory. Consequently, as I assumed that GA could not be used for handling knowledge representation, programs, concept trees, and similar notions, I attempted to extend it. At exactly the same time, when I presented my research to Dr. Philip D. Laird from NASA, who was a Visiting Researcher at the Electrotechnical Laboratory. Dr. Laird is a researcher in machine learning and is renowned for his book Learning from Good and Bad Data [4]. He introduced me to the research of Prof. John Koza of Stanford University. I still remember the excitement I felt while reading the technic
