Preface
This is the second edition of our 2003 book. It is primarily a book for lecturers and graduate and undergraduate students. To this group the book offers a thorough introduction to evolutionary computing (EC), descriptions of popular evolutionary algorithm (EA) variants, discussions of methodological issues and particular EC techniques. We end by presenting an outlook to evolutionary robotics and the future of EC, as it stands poised to make a major transition from evolution within computers to the evolution of
