Samenvatting:

Incorporation of a priori knowledge, such as expert knowledge, meta-heuristics and human preferences, as well as domain knowledge acquired during evolu­ tionary search, into evolutionary algorithms has received increasing interest in the recent years.

This carefully edited book puts together the state-of-the-art and recent advances in knowledge incorporation in evolutionary computation within a unified framework. The book provides a comprehensive self-contained view of knowledge incorporation in evolutionary computation including a concise introduction to evolutionary algorithms as well as knowledge representation methods. "Knowledge Incorporation in Evolutionary Computation" is a valuable reference for researchers, students and professionals from engineering and computer science, in particular in the areas of artificial intelligence, soft computing, natural computing, and evolutionary computation.
