Genetic Improvement of Software (Dagstuhl Seminar 18052) Petke, Justyna Le Goues, Claire Forrest, Stephanie Langdon, William B. genetic improvement GI search-based software engineering SBSE software optimisation evolutionary improvement automated software improvement automated program repair evolutionary computation genetic programming GP We document the program and the immediate outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 18052 "Genetic Improvement of Software". The seminar brought together researchers in Genetic Improvement (GI) and related areas of software engineering to investigate what is achievable with current technology and the current impediments to progress and how GI can affect the software development process. Several talks covered the state-of-the-art and work in progress. Seven emergent topics have been identified ranging from the nature of the GI search space through benchmarking and practical applications. The seminar has already resulted in multiple research paper publications. Four by participants of the seminar will be presented at the GI workshop co-located with the top conference in software engineering - ICSE. Several researchers started new collaborations, results of which we hope to see in the near future.
