In this contribution we demonstrate how a Single Objective Genetic Programming (SOGP) and a Multi-Objective Genetic Programming (MOGP) algorithm can be used to evolve accurate input-output models of dynamic processes. Having described the algorithms, two case studies are used to compare their performance with that of Filter-Based Neural Networks (FBNNs). For the examples given, the models generated using GP have comparable prediction performance to the FBNN. However, performance with respect to additional modelling criteria can be improved using the MOGP algorithm.
