Evolutionary Computation: Fundamentals and Applications

What Is Evolutionary Computation

The term "evolutionary computation" refers to both a subfield of artificial intelligence and soft computing in the field of computer science that studies various optimization algorithms and a family of algorithms for global optimization that are inspired by biological evolution. They belong to a family of problem solvers known as population-based trial and error problem solvers, and they either have a metaheuristic or stochastic optimization flavor.
