Opis

This volume presents a collection of revised refereed papers selected from the contributions presented at the European Conference on Artificial Evolution, AE '95, held in Brest, France, in September 1995; also included are a few papers from the predecessor conference, AE '94.
Besides two invited surveys on evolution strategies and evolutionary programming, 24 full papers are presented. They are grouped into sections on evolutionary computation theory, genetic algorithm techniques, coevolution, neural networks, image processing, and applications to various optimization and other problems.
