CIS 565 - Evolutionary Computation

Credits 3
Lecture / 3 hours per week
Presentation of evolutionary algorithms and comparison to traditional solving techniques. This course deals with a powerful new technique for solution of hard, intractable real-world problems, based on principles of natural evolution. Four main areas of evolutionary computation will be explored: genetic algorithms, genetic programming, evolution strategies, and evolutionary programming. Applications of evolutionary computation to related areas of computer science will be discussed.
