Spring 2010 not offered
This course may be repeated for credit.

This course will introduce students to the key concepts in Evolutionary Computing (EC) and give a broad overview of the field by looking at some of the more common evolutionary algorithms employed in EC. Topics will include Genetic Algorithms (GAs), Genetic Programing (GP), a number of selection schemes, crossover operators, mutation operators, representation schemes, and exaptation in EC. We will Look at Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithms (MOGAs), Evolution Strategies (ES), Artificial Life, and other types of evolutionary algorithms as well.

Essential Capabilities: Logical Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning
This course will focus on the creation of specific and general computational models and will train students in the mastery of their concrete and formal descriptions.
