	abstract = {The design (synthesis) of an analog electrical circuit
                 entails the creation of both the topology and sizing
                 (numerical values) of all of the circuit's components.
                 There has previously been no general automated
                 technique for automatically creating the design for an
                 analog electrical circuit from a high-level statement
                 of the circuit's desired behavior. This paper shows how
                 genetic programming can be used to automate the design
                 of eight prototypical analog circuits, including a
                 lowpass filter, a highpass filter, a bandstop filter, a
                 tri-state frequency discriminator circuit, a
                 frequency-measuring circuit, a 60 dB amplifier, a
                 computational circuit for the square root function, and
                 a time-optimal robot controller circuit.},
