Evolving Intelligence: A Computational View

Kenneth De Jong
Computer Science Department, George Mason University

The field of evolutionary computation is an active interdisciplinary area of research and development. Its underlying theme is the design and implementation of systems which use a computational model of evolution as a key element of the system architecture. There is an implementation of systems which use a computational model of evolution as a key element of the system architecture. There is growing interest within the artificial intelligence and artificial life communities regarding the use of evolutionary computation methods to evolve over time (rather than hand construct) agents (systems) which exhibit intelligent behavior. This talk will provide an overview of the canonical evolutionary computation models, summarize their use for evolving intelligent systems, and discuss some interesting open issues.
