Abstract

This paper provides an overview of the state of the art of evolutionary computation in civil engineering. First, it discusses the fundamentals of evolutionary computation in the context of a unified approach recently proposed by one of the authors. Second, it discusses the main research directions, including morphogenic design and co-evolutionary design. Next, it provides a description of the emerging evolutionary computation analysis, including an analysis in the context of complex adaptive systems and one based on the visualization of the gene pool and of the fitness function. Finally, the paper contains the conclusions and recommendations for the further research.
