Chapter 6: Intelligent Systems
This course is run in seminar style. (See “Seminar Style Courses” on page 98.)
Course Description
Evolutionary computation is concerned with the use of simulated biological evolution to
solve problems for which it can be difficult to write the programs using traditional
methods. This course examines different models of evolutionary computation and the
kinds of problems to which they can be applied.
