Average programming skills

Understand the fundamentals of evolutionary computing, be able to identify in which cases it can be effective and acquire the knowledge to choose and design the appropriate technique to a given problem, commonly, search and optimization problems (among others).

1. Introduction to evolutionary computation 2. General concepts of evolutionary algorithms: initialization, stop, genetic operators, insertion and replacement strategies. 3. Evolutionary computation techniques: genetic algorithms, evolutionary strategies, genetic programming, others. 4. Problem solving through evolutionary techniques. Problems with multiple solutions, with several objectives, with restrictions, coevolution. 5. Alternative systems: applications and examples of solving complex problems
