evolutionary computation

Computer-based problem solving systems that use computationalmodels of evolutionary processes as the key elements in designand implementation.

A number of evolutionary computational models have beenproposed, including evolutionary algorithms, genetic algorithms, the evolution strategy, evolutionary programming, and artificial life.
