I am not a researcher in genetic algorithms so I can't point you personally
to "classic" refs but I have found some possible sources. So, the following
refs are provided "as is:"  :-)  BTW, GA's have been discussed several times
in the past on comp.ai but I did not follow the discussions so the following
may be redundant.

First, a couple of lists gleaned from fellow students' computer accounts here
at Georgia Tech.

========================================
The following books give a good overview of genetic learning
systems:

Adaptation in Natural and rtificial Systems,
J. H. Holland, Univ. Michigan Press: Ann Arbor, 1975.

Induction: Processes of Inference, Learning, and Discovery,
J. H. Holland, K. J. Holyoak, R. E. Nisbett and P. A. Thagard,
MIT Press: Cambridge, 1986.

Genetic Algorithms and Simulated Annealing,
L. Davis (ed.), Pitman: London, 1987.

Genetic Algorithms and Their Applications:
Proceedings of the 2nd Intl. Conf. Genetic Algorithms,
J. J. Grefenstette (ed.), Lawrence Erlbaum Assoc: Hillsdale, 1987.

There is also a bulletin board devoted to genetic algorithms
and related topics.  To join, send a request to:
	GA-List-Request@NRL-AIC.ARPA

[Note: I have no idea whether this list is still active.]
=========
[No sources were listed with these so I don't know if they will help]

Rosenberg, R. S. (1967) "Simulation of genetic populations with biochemical
properties", studies the evolution of populations of single-celled organisms.

Reynolds, R. G. (1979) "An adaptive computer model of the evolution of
agriculture for hunter-gatherers in the valley of Oaxaca, Mexico",
a study that explains a body of archaeological findings.

Booker, L. B. (1982) "Intelligent behavior an an adaptation to the task
environment", a computational model of cognition and learning
in simple creatures.

Perry, Z. A. (1984) "Experimental study of speciation in ecological
niche theory using genetic algorithms"

Grosso, P. B. (1985) "Computer simulation of genetic adaptation: Parallel
subcomponent interaction in a multilocus model", studies diploid
representations and explicit migration among subpopulations.

===========================

Then, I took a quick look at our online IEEE publications catalog and found
the following general sources:

The journal _Machine Learning_, vol 3., no. 2-3 has a collection of papers
on genetic algorithm related topics.

I found at least 30 papers from the _2nd International Conference on Genetic
Algorithms_, 1987, Cambridge, MA July 1987.  Published by LEA, Inc Hillsdale,
NJ.  I suppose there was a 1st Conf. too.....  One of the papers in the first
list above is in these proceedings.

Also, "Learning using classifier systems: a survey" in Proceedings of CIPS
Edmonton '87: Intelligent Integration, Nov 1987.  Published by Edmonton Alta,
Canadian Information Processing Society.

There were others but I don't have time to transcribe them.  Hope these help.
