This course is run in seminar style. (See “Seminar Style Courses” on page 98.)<br />

Course Description<br />

Evolutionary computation is concerned with the use of simulated biological evolution to<br />

solve problems for which it can be difficult to write the programs using traditional<br />

methods. This course examines different models of evolutionary computation and the<br />

kinds of problems to which they can be applied.<br />

Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities<br />

• Programming skills in Java or C++, including basic data structures and algorithms<br />

• Familiarity with Unix and C is strongly recommended<br />

• Completion of one of the following courses (or equivalent) will satisfy the prerequisite<br />

requirements.<br />

• COSC1295 Java for Programmers OR<br />

• COSC1252 Object-Oriented Programming<br />
