Abstract

Evolutionary computation is an old field of computer science that started in the end of the 1960s nearly simultaneously in different parts of the world. Each paradigm has evolved separately, apparently without knowledge of what was happening elsewhere, until people finally got together and shared their experience. This resulted in strong trends that still survive, even though it is now possible to outline a generic structure for an evolutionary algorithm that is described in this chapter.
