Abstract
In this paper the enhanced version of the GREDEA system is presented. The main idea behind the system is that with the help of evolutionary algorithms a grammatical description of the blood circulation of the human retina can be inferred. The system uses parametric Lindenmayer systems as description language. It can be applied on patients with diabetes who need to be monitored over long periods of time. Since the first version some improvements were made, e.g. new fitness function and new genetic operators. In this paper these changes are described.
