Steve Dower's thesis, 'Disambiguating Evolutionary Algorithms: Composition and Communication with ESDL', models the structure of a class of algorithms used in intelligent computation. These algorithms are used to find optimal plans, designs or schedules within real-world constraints. However, the research community suffers from fragmented origins that carry over to this day. This thesis provides a unified view of Evolutionary Algorithms that allows researcher to overlook historical differences and apply problem-focused techniques to their designs, simulations and publications.
