 evolution can be simulated computationally as searching a space of design and code possibilities. \\

+Minutes 60 - 75: Interaction - participants simulate the evolution of a small supplied software design example. Each workshop participant pretends to be an individual in the workshop 'gene pool'.
+The fittest individuals are selected as parents to breed; two parent individuals produce offspring that are different to the parents but retain certain fitness characteristics. The process is repeated (iterates) over many generations and we'll see what the eventual software designs look like!!\\

+Minutes 75 - 90: Presentation: examples of how evolutionary computing has been applied to software design, and also the entire software development lifecycle.\\

+Roger: not very keen
