Evolutionary computation comprises a family of metaheuristic algorithms inspired by the principles of natural evolution – reproduction, mutation, recombination, and selection – which are utilised to ...

Assistant Professor Robert MacCurdy and his collaborators have won the ACM SIGEVO Impact Award for their outstanding contributions in the field of genetic and evolutionary computation. The award ...

The growth and expansion of metropolitan areas has been evident over the past decade. Buildings are getting taller, and urban areas are getting larger. What if there was a way to predict this growth ...

Immigration is generally considered an option in genetic algorithms, but I have found immigration to be extremely useful in almost all situations where I use evolutionary optimization. The idea of ...

This course will guide students on their own intellectual journey in evolutionary computation. Early lectures provide a jumping off point — an overview of genetic algorithms, evolutionary strategies, ...

Evolutionary computation (EC) incorporates evolutionary ideas into algorithms. These algorithms can be applied to problems of biological interest. They are interesting models for evolution, so that EC ...
