                 recognise the use of memory must be organised via data
                 structures and that software using the data must be
                 independant of the data structures' implementation
                 details. They achieve this by using abstract data
                 structures, such as records, files and buffers.

                 We demonstrate that genetic programming can
                 automatically implement simple abstract data
                 structures, considering in detail the task of evolving
                 a list. We show general and reasonably efficient
                 implementations can be automatically generated from
                 simple primitives.

                 A model for maintaining evolved code is demonstrated
                 using the list problem.
