Evolutionary Algorithms in Engineering and Computer Science Edited by K. Miettinen, University of Jyvaskyla, Finland M. M. Makela, University of Jyvaskyla, Finland P. Neittaanmaki, University of Jyvaskyla, Finland J. Periaux, Dassault Aviation, France What is Evolutionary Computing? Based on the genetic message encoded in DNA, and digitalized algorithms inspired by the Darwinian framework of evolution by natural selection, Evolutionary Computing is one of the most important information technologies of our times. Evolutionary algorithms encompass all adaptive and computational models of...

One service mathematics has rendered the 'Et moi, .... si favait su comment en revenir, je n'y seTais point alle.' human race. It has put common sense back Jules Verne where it belongs. on the topmost shelf next to the dusty canister labelled 'discarded n- sense', The series is divergent; therefore we may be Eric T. Bell able to do something with it. O. Heaviside Mathematics is a tool for thought. A highly necessary tool in a world where both feedback and non linearities abound. Similarly, all kinds of parts of mathematics serve as tools for other parts and for other sciences. Applying a...
