Abstract
The paper provides an overview of interactive evolutionary computing and describes aspects of user-centric evolutionary design systems relating to multi-objective satisfaction. Such systems generate high-quality design information that improves understanding of the design domain. Knowledge gained from this information, when combined with the experiential knowledge of the designer, can support a reformulation of the design problem to better satisfy emerging requirements, improve definition and provide greater confidence in the problem representation. An iterative designer/evolutionary earch process resulting in both a better understanding of the problem and improved machine-based representation of the design domain an thus established.
