evolutionary computation

   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
   algorithms, the evolution strategy, evolutionary
   programming, and artificial life.
