Abstract

Parallel rewrite systems in the form of string based L-systems are used for modeling and visualizing growth processes of artificial plants. It is demonstrated how to use evolutionary algorithms for inferring L-systems encoding structures with characteristic properties. We describe our Mathematica based genetic programming system Evolvica, present an L-system encoding via expressions, and explain how to generate, modify and breed L-systems through simulated evolution techniques. Extensions of genetic programming operators and expression generation methods strongly relying on templates and pattern matching are shown by example.
