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, geneticalgorithms, the evolution strategy, evolutionaryprogramming, and artificial life.
