Evolutionary computation includes Genetic Algorithms, Evolutionary Programming, Evolution Strategies, and Genetic Programming. In general any population based, selectionist algorithm that performs optimization or supports modeling is a form of evolutionary computation. This text covers primarily genetic algorithms and genetic programming as well as variations based on student projects and the author’s research. It substantially reflects engineering (problem solving) rather than mathematical (theorem proving) methods. This book should appeal to undergraduates and beginning graduates in mathematics, computer science, engineering and biology.
