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

Expensive optimization problem (EOP) refers to the problem that requires expensive or even unaffordable costs to evaluate candidate solutions, which widely exist in many significant real-world ...

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is continuously gaining new domains of application. We'll study several important design and implementation issues in one new domain: parallel evolutionary algorithms ...

At present the only authored book that contains a complete overview of the field of evolutionary computing, treating all "dialects" and important algorithm variants, from GAs to MOEAs. Evolutionary ...
