  abstract =     "Tournament selection is the most frequently used form
                 of selection in Genetic Programming (GP). Tournament
                 selection chooses individuals uniformly at random from
                 the population. As noted in [6], even if this process
                 is repeated many times in each generation, there is
                 always a non-zero probability that some of the
                 individuals in the population will not be involved in
                 any tournament. In certain conditions, typical in GP,
                 the number of individuals in this category can be
                 large. Because these individuals have no influence on
                 future generations, it is possible to avoid creating
                 and evaluating them without altering in any significant
                 way the course of a run. [6] proposed an algorithm, the
                 backward chaining EA (BC-EA), to realised this, but
                 provided limited empirical evidence as to the
                 obtainable savings and experimentation was restricted
                 to fixed-length genetic algorithms. In this paper we
                 provide a genetic programming implementation of BC-EA
                 and empirically investigate the efficiency in terms of
                 fitness evaluations and memory use and effectiveness in
                 terms of ability to solve problems of BC-GP. Our
                 results indicate that the efficiency gains obtainable
                 with this approach can be big.",
