@inproceedings{6508, abstract = {{In this paper, we present a framework that supports experimenting with evolutionary hardware design. We describe the framework's modules for composing evolutionary optimizers and for setting up, controlling, and analyzing experiments. Two case studies demonstrate the usefulness of the framework: evolution of hash functions and evolution based on pre-engineered circuits.}}, author = {{Kaufmann, Paul and Platzner, Marco}}, booktitle = {{Second NASA/ESA Conference on Adaptive Hardware and Systems (AHS 2007)}}, isbn = {{076952866X}}, keywords = {{integrated circuit design, hardware evolution, evolutionary hardware design, evolutionary optimizers, hash functions, preengineered circuits, Hardware, Circuits, Design optimization, Visualization, Genetic programming, Genetic mutations, Clustering algorithms, Biological cells, Field programmable gate arrays, Routing}}, location = {{Edinburgh, UK}}, pages = {{447--454}}, publisher = {{IEEE}}, title = {{{MOVES: A Modular Framework for Hardware Evolution}}}, doi = {{10.1109/ahs.2007.73}}, year = {{2007}}, }
