A historical perspective -- 3. Canonical evolutionary algorithms -- 4. A unified view of simple EAs -- 5. Evolutionary algorithms as problem solvers --Evolutionary computation, the use of evolutionary systems as computational processes for solving complex problems, is a tool used by computer scientists and engineers who want to harness the power of evolution to build useful new artifacts, by biologists interested in developing and testing better models of natural evolutionary systems, and by artificial life scientists for designing and implementing new artificial evolutionary worlds. In this clear and comprehensive introduction to the field, Kenneth De Jong presents an integrated view of the state of the art in evolutionary computation. Although other books have described such particular areas of the field as genetic algorithms, genetic programming, evolution strategies, and evolutionary programming, Evolutionary Computation is noteworthy for considering these systems as specific instances of a more general class of evolutionary algorithms. This useful overview of a fragmented field is suitable for classroom use or as a reference for computer scientists and engineers.Evolutionary programming (Computer science)Evolutionary computationEvolutionary programming (Computer science)Evolutionary computation.005.154.51bclDe Jong Kenneth A0MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910260651903321Evolutionary computation1416724UNINA
