A method and system for evolving electronic circuits based on defined rules. A first approach uses a network of nodes having established topological and behavioral relationships amongst themselves. An A/D converter is developed using this approach. A second approach employs software agents to create signal filters. The software agents are allowed to evolve in signal parameter space so as to match a reference signal, subject to established evolutionary rules and parameter space constraints. Narrowband and a low-pass filters can be formed using such agents.
