A GENETIC WEAKNESS—PHOENICIAN LEGACY OR CELTIC HERITAGE?

Heritage Diversity in Genetic Programming

Previous work has examined diversity within genetic programming from the viewpoints of isolation, structural differences and behavioural differences. This paper investigates the implications of controlling diversity through the implicit genetic heritage of a population. In practise, each individual carries a genetic tag indicative of its genetic heritage, and will then not crossover with other ...

Innovation vs. Heritage: a Requirements Game to Encourage Creativity in Government Agencies' Legacy Systems Replacement Projects

The replacement of legacy systems in government agencies is a challenging and complex process. Legacy software features and the business practices they support tend to be reproduced in replacement applications, because practitioners are averse to the risks associated with business process change. As a result, opportunities to introduce efficiencies and innovation with new technologies are misse...

Croatian genetic heritage: Y-chromosome story

The aim of this article is to offer a concise interpretation of the scientific data about the topic of Croatian genetic heritage that was obtained over the past 10 years. We made a short overview of previously published articles by our and other groups, based mostly on Y-chromosome results. The data demonstrate that Croatian human population, as almost any other European population, represents ...
