Evolutionary Computation is the general term used for several computational techniques which are based to some degree on the evolution of biological life in the natural world. The computer scientist and engineers use this tool for solving complex problems and to build new models; the biologists use them to develop and test better models of natural evolutionary system; and the artificial-life scientists use them for designing and implementing artificial worlds. The most widely used form of evolutionary computation are genetic algorithms, others being genetic programming, evolution strategies and evolutionary programming. De Jong presents a comprehensive and integrated overview of this fragmented field in this book. This makes it suitable for classroom use as well as a reliable reference for computer scientists and engineers especially working in optimization problems.
