This book provides a broad sample of current information processing applications, issues and advances using evolutionary algorithms. The editors present a range of works from successful and down to earth case studies to speculative academic research. It demonstrates how evolutionary algorithms have reached the maturity of an industrial-valuable tool, whilst still continuing to be a subject of academic research, through providing a glimpse of the large variety of problems tackled with evolutionary approximations and of the diversity of evolutionary algorithms themselves.

Reflects the state of the art in information processing with evolutionary algorithms from both the academic and industrial sides Contains some examples of successful applications that will encourage practitioners to apply the techniques described in the book to real-life problems, thereby appealing to people working in industry as well as the academic community Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
