英文简介

This chapter gives a gentle introduction to evolutionary computation, a field in which evolutionary optimisation is one of the most important research areas. Unlike most introductions to evolutionary computation which are based on its simplified biological link, this chapter emphasises the link between evolutionary computation and artificial intelligence and computer science. In fact, this whole book is centred around problem-solving, e.g., optimisation, using evolutionary computation techniques. It does not deal with the issue of biological modelling.KeywordsEvolutionary computation global optimisation combinatorial optimisation evolutionary learning evolutionary design
