Genetic Improvement of Software (Dagstuhl Seminar 18052)
We document the program and the immediate outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 18052 “Genetic
Improvement of Software”. The seminar brought together researchers in Genetic Improvement
(GI) and related areas of software engineering to investigate what is achievable with current technology and the current impediments to progress and how GI can affect the software development
process. Several talks covered the state-of-the-art and work in progress. Seven emergent topics
have been identified ranging from the nature of the GI search space through benchmarking and
practical applications. The seminar has already resulted in multiple research paper publications.
Four by participants of the seminar will be presented at the GI workshop co-located with the
top conference in software engineering - ICSE. Several researchers started new collaborations,
results of which we hope to see in the near future
