The latest Communications of the ACM includes an article on “Automatic Program Repair with Evolutionary Computation” by Westley Weimer, Stephanie Forrest, Claire Le Goues, and ThanhVu Nguyen. This article is based on very nice work which, as noted last summer on this blog, won the top prize in the Human-Competitive Results Competition (the “Humies”) at GECCO-2009.
