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}.
