About this title

Synopsis

This volume is based on the proceedings of a workshop, Evolutionary Algorithms, that was an integral part of the 1996-97 IMA program on Mathematics in High-Performance Computing. It brought together top researchers working in the area of Evolutionary Computation for a week of intensive interaction. Some very surprising and impressive applications were presented at the workshop, including data decomposition, deriving control parameters for modeling systems using partial differential equations, and even new best known solutions to bin packing problems. The workshop did a great deal to clarify the current state of the theory in Evolutionary algorithms and was useful for bringing people together and strengthening the evolutionary
