   Greetings!  I have a question for the net readers:
   What is the relationship (as well as main differences, if any) between
   genetic algorithm and evolutionary programming?  
   Thanks,
   Liu, Ann Pheng

I've seen the terms "genetic algorithms" (GAs), "evolutionary programming",
(EP), "genetic programming" (GP), and "evolutionary strategies" (ESs).
There are probably some others. The main difference it seems to me is 
whether the method includes recombination (crossover). For example

               EP is GAs without sex.

ps. I am obviously using the genetic usage of the word "sex".
