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 />
