Description

At the beginning of the 1990s research started in how to combine soft comput- ing with reconfigurable hardware in a quite unique way.

One of the methods that was developed has been called evolvable hardware.

Thanks to evolution- ary algorithms researchers have started to evolve electronic circuits routinely.

A number of interesting circuits - with features unreachable by means of con- ventional techniques - have been developed.

Evolvable hardware is quite pop- ular right now; more than fifty research groups are spread out over the world.

Evolvable hardware has become a part of the curriculum at some universi- ties.

Evolvable hardware is being commercialized and there are specialized conferences devoted to evolvable hardware.

On the other hand, surprisingly, we can feel the lack of a theoretical background and consistent design methodology in the area.

Furthermore, it is quite difficult to implement really innovative and practically successful evolvable systems using contemporary digital reconfigurable technology.
