Future Directions in Evolutionary Computing

  • Robert Ghanea-Hercock

Abstract

As indicated in earlier chapters, all EA methods suffer from some fundamental problems. Prime examples include the computational cost (in processing power and memory requirements), the selection of operators and their parameters is a complex problem in itself, and the complex nature of the EA search space. This chapter considers potential solutions to these issues based on hardware approaches and parallel processing techniques. It also reviews some advanced EA methods that are commonly utilised to address the efficiency of evolution-based search methods.
