ECTA 2011

Conference name: ECTA- International Conference on Evolutionary Computation Theory and Applications

Venue: Paris, France

Event Date:24-26 October, 2011

SCOPE

Considered a subfield of computational intelligence focused on combinatorial optimization problems, evolutionary computation is associated with systems that use computational models of evolutionary processes as the key elements in design and implementation, i.e. computational techniques which are based to some degree on the evolution of biological life in the natural world. A number of evolutionary computational models have been proposed, including evolutionary algorithms, genetic algorithms, the evolution strategy, evolutionary programming, and artificial life.
