  abstract =     "This study focuses on mutation in Grammatical
                 Evolution and divides mutation events into those that
                 are structural in nature and those that are nodal. A
                 structural event being one that alters the length of
                 the phenotype. A nodal event simply alters the value at
                 any node of a derivation tree. We analyse and compare
                 the effect of integer, nodal and structural mutations
                 on fitness for randomly generated individuals before
                 continuing this analysis to their relative
                 problem-solving performance over full runs. The study
                 highlights the importance of understanding how the
                 search operators of an evolutionary algorithm behave.
                 The result in this case being a form of mutation for
                 Grammatical Evolution, node mutation, with a better
                 property of locality than standard integer-based
                 mutation, which does not discriminate between
                 structural and nodal contexts.",
