Description
Evolutionary programming is a means for finding solutions to difficult computational problems by first guessing a solution, evaluating its effectiveness at solving the problem, and then allowing the data to "evolve," perhaps into a better solution. This continues until no better solutions exist or one reaches the point of diminishing returns. In this book, Dr. Fogel, one of the inventors of evolutionary programming, looks at the evolution of the field since its inception 40 years ago.
