Abstract:
                                                                                
As the darwinian theory of evolution can be formulated on an abstract
level we can apply the principle of natural selection to self-replicating
computer programs written in assembly-like languages. In this talk, I
will expose the idea of digital evolution in detail and our new approach
putting the genotype-phenotype relation under evolutionary control. This
is followed by the analysis of current results and a brief discussion of
the perspectives of further development.
