  • Abstract
    This paper takes a novel view of evolutionary computing; that is, it attempts to analyze modern software viewed as a complex adaptive system (CAS). By going through the common characteristics of software as CAS and by comparing software with biological populations, an evolution approach to software development emerges. The benefit of the approach is rather practical targeting to promote the understanding of modern software analogous to biological complexity and to guide the progress in software development in order to improve software quality and software development productivity.
