Description: Evolutionary Computation, a broad field that includes Genetic Algorithms, Evolution Strategies, and Evolutionary Programming, has proven to offer well-suited techniques for industrial and management tasks - therefore receiving considerable attention fom scientists and engineers during the last decade. This monograph develops and analyzes evolutionary algorithms that can be successfully applied to real-world problems such as robotic control. Although of particular interest to robotic control engineers, "Evolutionary Computations" also may interest the large audience of researchers, engineers, designers and graduate students confronted with complicated optimization tasks.
