Evolutionary computation
Computer-based problem solving systems that use computational models of evolutionary processes as the key elements in design and implementation.
A number of evolutionary computational models have been proposed, including
evolutionary algorithms,
genetic algorithms, the
evolution strategy,
evolutionary programming, and
artificial life.
