Integrating aesthetic criteria with evolutionary processes in complex, free-form design - an initial investigation

This research is a continuation of previous work by the authors relating to the inclusion of aesthetic criteria within an interactive evolutionary design system. The work described extends the design system re the manipulation of a more complex design problem with increased importance placed on aesthetic criterion. The paper initially introduces the previous work before describing more recent research and positioning this in terms of previously published work. Finally, initial results from the further developed design system are presented.
