What term describes computer software or its code which is free to use and adapt, based on a philosophy of improvement through sharing and collaboration?
Free and open-source software software. In the following 2000s, he spoke about open source again. In the 1950s through the 1980s, it was common for computer users to have the source code for all programs they used, and the permission and ability to modify it for their own use. Software, including source code, was commonly shared by individuals who used computers, often as public domain software. Most companies had a business model based on hardware sales, and provided or bundled software with hardware, free of charge. By the late 1960s, the prevailing business model around software was changing. A growing and evolving software industry
Genetic improvement (computer science) between several objectives, such as asking GI to evolve programs which trade speed against the quality of answers they give. Of course it may be possible to find programs which are both faster and give better answers. Mostly Genetic Improvement makes typically small changes or edits (also known as mutations) to the program's source code but sometimes the mutations are made to assembly code, byte code or binary machine code. Genetic improvement (computer science) In computer software development, genetic Improvement is the use of optimisation and machine learning techniques, particularly search based software engineering techniques such as genetic programming to
