Advances in Evolutionary Algorithms

Theory, Design and Practice

von Chang Wook Ahn

Every real-world problem from economic to scientific and engineering fields is ultimately confronted with a common task, viz., optimization. Genetic and evolutionary algorithms (GEAs) have often achieved an enviable success in solving optimization problems in a wide range of disciplines. The goal of this book is to provide effective optimization algorithms for solving a broad class of problems quickly, accurately, and reliably by employing evolutionary mechanisms. In this regard, five significant issues have been investigated:

  • Bridging the gap between theory and practice of GEAs, thereby providing practical design guidelines.
  • Demonstrating the practical use of the suggested road map.
  • Offering a useful tool to significantly enhance the exploratory power in time-constrained and memory-limited applications.
  • Providing a class of promising procedures that are capable of scalably solving hard problems in the continuous domain.
  • Opening an important track for multiobjective GEA research that relies on decomposition principle.

This book serves to play a decisive role in bringing forth a paradigm shift in future evolutionary computation.
