Description: "The IMA Workshop on Evolutionary Algorithms brought together many of the top researchers in the area of evolutionary computation for a week of intensive interaction."--BOOK JACKET.

"Real progress in communication was made between theorists and practitioners in the evolutionary computation field. Speakers presented applications across a wide range of problem areas. In some of those cases, theoretically motivated methods worked quite well. In other cases, practitioners used domain-based methods to obtain better performance than could be achieved by using a "pure" evolutionary algorithm.

Individuals on both sides went away with a better appreciation of the successes and failures of current theory."--BOOK JACKET.
