Abstract

From the Publisher:Genetic algorithms (GA) and evolution strategies (ES) are relatively new stochastic based techniques for solving engineering problems on computers. GA and ES are based on a loose biological analogy: evolutionary theory (mutation, crossover, selection, survival of the fittest). Evolutionary algorithms encompass all adaptive and computational models of natural evolutionary systems - genetic algorithms, evolution strategies, evolutionary programming and genetic programming. In addition, they work well in the search for global solutions to optimization problems, allowing the production of optimization software that is robust and easy to implement. This book presents state of the art lectures delivered by international academic and industrial experts in the field of evolutionary computing. It bridges artificial intelligence and scientific computing with a particular emphasis on real-life problems encountered in application-oriented sectors, such as aerospace, electronics, telecommunications, energy and economics.
