Some work along these lines was started in:

Craig G. Shaefer, "The ARGOT Strategy: Adaptive Representation Genetic  
Optimizer Technique", Proceedings of the Second Conference on Genetic  
Algorithms, pp50-55.

Hopefully, further investigations in this direction will appear in my  
dissertation which unfortunately is far from completion..;-)

Best regards,
