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)}.
