Computer-based problem solving systems thAT use computATional models of evolutionary processes as the key elements in design and implementATion. A number of evolutionary computATional models have been proposed, including evolutionary algorithms, {genetic algorithm}s, the {evolution strATegy}, {evolutionary programming}, and {artificial life}. {The Hitchhiker' s Guide to Evolutionary ComputATion (http://www.cis.ohio-stATe.edu/hypertext/faq/bngusenet/comp/ai/genetic/top.html)}. {Bibliography (http://liinwww.ira.uka.de/bibliography/Ai/EC-ref.html)}.
