Special Issue : Volume 3 Number 1 has been launched. This is a special issue on Evolutionary Multicriteria Optimization . Click on current contents button to see the new papers. Click on archives button to see the papers of earlier issues. Aims and Scope The subject of Evolutionary Optimization has recently experienced a remarkable growth. New concepts, methods and applications are being continually proposed and exploited to provide efficient tools for solving a variety of optimization problems. The aim of this international journal is to collect and disseminate the progressive body of knowledge on evolutionary optimization techniques and their applications, via a single organized medium. These techniques include Genetic Algorithms, Genetic Programming, Evolutionary Programming and Evolution Strategies among others, all of which are inspired by restricted models of natural evolution. Applications of evolutionary optimization cover a wide range of engineering optimization problems, operations research and other related fields. The principal focus of the journal will be the implementation of Evolutionary Optimization techniques to practice. The journal will be primarily concerned with these applications which include those aspects of computing techniques that use the model of natural selection and other biologically oriented models to perform the process of optimization. Evolutionary Optimization will be publishing invited papers, review papers and original research papers. The journal will also have special issues devoted to relevant topics. Book reviews, forthcoming events and software sections of the journal will report the recent developments and advances in the field.

Home Blog Articles Books ... ThoughtWorks Evolutionary Database Design Martin Fowler Pramod Sadalage Last Significant Update: January 2003 Over the last few years we've developed a number of techniques that allow a database design to evolve as an application develops. This is a very important capability for agile methodologies. The techniques rely on applying continuous integration and automated refactoring to database development, together with a close collaboration between DBAs and application developers. The techniques work in both pre-production and released systems. Japanese Russian Dealing with Change Limitations ... Further Steps and Further Information In the last few years, we've seen the rise of a new breed of software methodologies, the agile methodologies . These make some new and significant demands on database design. One of the most central of these demands is the idea of evolutionary design. On an agile project you assume that you cannot fix the requirements of the system up-front. As a result having a detailed design phase at the beginning of a project becomes impractical. The design of the system has to evolve through the various iterations of the software. Agile methods, in particular extreme programming (XP) , have a number of practices that make this evolutionary design practical.

28. Evolutionary Computation evolutionary Computation (genetic algorithms and related techniques) and their application to art and design. http://www.red3d.com/cwr/evolve.html

Evolutionary Computation and its application to art and design by Craig Reynolds Evolutionary Computation is the general term for several computational techniques which are based to some degree on the evolution of biological life in the natural world. My work in evolutionary computation has related to evolution of behavior . I've used evolutionary systems to create behavior control programs for artificial agents. These evolved behavior relate to steering around a simulated environment. In particular I've experimented with corridor following where evolution determines both a sensor morphology and a mapping from sensor output to steering signal. I've also experimented with evolution of players for the game of tag where fitness is based solely on competition. The most widely used form of evolutionary computation are Genetic Algorithms . In my work I've used the Genetic Programming technique which allows the evolution of executable programs. (See also: GA GP top motion ... bottom Related topics: Evolution of motion I'm especially interested in the use of evolutionary techniques to discover controllers for animated motion of real or virtual objects: Karl Sims has evolved delightful virtual creatures based on their locomotion skills, and through coevolution has created others that play a certain wrestling game. In Karl's work both the behavior and the morphology (body structure) of the creatures are determined by animation. (See also: this

Evolutionary Psychology Table of Contents Adaptationist Program Inclusive Fitness Wilson's Ladder Level 1 ... Home Evolutionary psychology is an evolutionary approach to human nature. Attachment Theory is also grounded in certain evolutionary ideas, and Behavior Genetics is a field concerned with that all-important evolutionary mechanism, the gene. Evolutionary Psychology and Sociobiology One author summed up the basic idea of evolutionary psychology this way: "A person is only a gene's way of making another gene" (Konner, 1985, p. 48). Sociobiology (of which evolutionary psychology is a subfield that particularly concerns humans) can be thought of as having, like any research program , a "hard core" of problem solving strategies that provide possible answers to vexing research questions, and a "protective belt" of promising research questions to be addressed by providing actual answers to these questions. The protective belt structures our ignorance by identifying research questions that must be addressed if the research program is to advance. Whereas the actual answers that arise from the protective belt may be wrong, the hard core (by methodological fiat) is never wrongany potential negative evidence is to be blamed on faulty auxiliary assumptions rather than on the theory itself. Sociobiology can be thought of as a special case of the adaptationist program , which assumes that all phenotypic features (or characters) of contemporary organisms result from the fact that these features allowed the organisms' predecessors to produce more offspring in a prehistoric environment (Lewontin, 1979). "Narrow sociobiology" is defined as the study of evolution and of function, and chiefly applies to non-human animals in which cultural transmission is not an important variable intervening between possible and actual explanations (Kitcher, 1988). The hard core of narrow sociobiology includes the following laws or problem solving strategies, the basics of evolutionary theory:

30. Ecology And Evolutionary Biology: Index The Ecology and evolutionary Biology (EEB) Department carries out research in a wide range of areas across evolution and ecology. http://www.eeb.princeton.edu/

In 1990 the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology was created. Since then we have grown and now consist of 18 faculty, approximately 36 graduate students, 38 postdoctoral fellows, and about 100 undergraduate concentrators. Our offices and laboratories are located in Guyot and Eno Halls, but our research often takes us to field sites in Africa, Asia and parts of North, Central and South America. Although faculty and students in the Department study a wide range of biological problems, evolution is the theme that unites us, and mixing of theory and empiricism is a style that guides us. And despite our breadth, we are deep in the areas of ecology, evolution and behavior. Many of the research projects are interdisciplinary and have resulted in strong links to the Department of Molecular Biology Department of Geosciences Science Technology and Environmental Policy (STEP) . The excitement and quality of the research that is done in the Department creates an exceptional learning environment for undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral students.

Mission Statement We are devoted to researching applications of Mathematics and Computer Science to Biology. At the center of a quantitative approach to biology is evolutionary theory as pioneered by Charles Darwin. Concepts of evolutionary biology can be formulated in terms of mathematical equations describing mutation and selection of replicating individuals. We have active research projects on the evolutionary dynamics of infectious agents, cancer cells, altruistic behavior, and human language. The Program for Evolutionary Dynamics was established in 2003 by the 27th Harvard University President Lawrence Summers following an imaginative proposal by Jeffrey Epstein and Benedict Gross. The center operates under the auspices of Michael Smith, Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.

EO Evolutionary Computation Framework What is EO? EO is a templates-based, ANSI-C++ compliant evolutionary computation library. It contains classes for almost any kind of evolutionary computation you might come up to - at least for the ones we could think of. It is component-based, so that if you don't find the class you need in it, it is very easy to subclass existing abstract or concrete classes. EO was started by the Geneura Team at the University of Granada, headed by Juan Julián Merelo . The original Web site is also the only place where you will find old releases of EO (up to 0.8.7), but beware that it is not compatible at all with the current version. The developement team has then been reinforced by Maarten Keijzer , the C++ wizzard, and Marc Schoenauer . Later came Jeroen Eggermont , who, among other things, did a lot of work on GP, , who developped the parallel version of EO, ParadisEO-PEO, Olivier König , who did a lot of useful additions and cleaning of the code and Jochen Küpper , working on infrastructure maintenance.
