Genetic programming has 16 attributes of what is sometimes called automatic programming or program synthesis or program induction). One of the central challenges of computer science is to get a computer to solve a problem without explicitly programming it. In particular, it would be desirable to have a problem-independent system whose input is a high-level statement of a problem's requirements and whose output is a working computer program that solves the given problem. "How can computers be made to do what needs to be done, without being told exactly how to do it?" Genetic programming is a biologically inspired, domain-independent method that automatically creates a computer program from a high-level statement of a problem's requirements.
