While only superficially familiar with the current Genetic Algorithms literature I remember reading a paper by Holland a few years back which I found very interesting: Holland, J. (1970) "Logical Theory of Adaptive Systems", in A.W. Burks (Ed.) Essays in Cellular Automata, University of Illinois Press. (Remember Cellular Automata?) My question to those familiar with the literature is: How does this work of Holland relate to the recent literature? I don't see it referred to at all. Is there a strong reason for this, or just that it is now old stuff? It seems to me that this paper had many of the fundamental ideas of today (especially with respect to parallel implementations).
