This volume is based on the Workshop on Evolutionary Computing held in Sheffield, U.K., in April 1995 under the sponsorship of the Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and Simulation of Behavior (AISB). The 18 full papers presented were selected during a post-workshop refereeing meeting and chosen from 32 submissions for the workshop. The papers are organized in sections on evolutionary computing theory and techniques, timetabling, routing and scheduling, optimization, signal processing and control, and genetic programming. The collection of papers has a certain bias towards real world applications of evolutionary computing and particularly genetic algorithms.

• PART I: A COMPARISON OF EVOLUTIONARY ALGORITHMS
• PART II: EXTENDING GENETIC ALGORITHMS.
• (source: Nielsen Book Data)

This book compares the three most prominent representatives of evolutionary algorithms - genetic algorithms, evolution strategies, and evolutionary programming - computational methods at the border between computer science and evolutionary biology. The algorithms are explained within a common formal framework, thereby clarifying the similarities and differences of these methods. The author also presents new results regarding the role of mutation and selection in genetic algorithms and uses a meta-evolutionary approach to confirm some of the theoretical results.

Genetic algorithms are founded upon the principle of evolution, i.e., survival of the fittest. Hence evolution programming techniques, based on genetic algorithms, are applicable to many hard optimization problems, such as optimization of functions with linear and nonlinear constraints, the traveling salesman problem, and problems of scheduling, partitioning, and control. The importance of these techniques is still growing, since evolution programs are parallel in nature, and parallelism is one of the most promising directions in computer science.The book is self-contained and the only prerequisite is basic undergraduate mathematics. This third edition has been substantially revised and extended by three new chapters and by additional appendices containing working material to cover recent developments and a change in the perception of evolutionary computation.
