Book Description

This book provides an analysis of what an EA needs to do to automatically and continuously solve dynamic problems, focusing on detecting changes in the problem environment and responding to those changes. In this book we identify and quantify a key attribute needed to improve the detection and response performance of EAs in dynamic environments. Along the way we identify some pre­viously unknown relationships between performance and diversity that may lead to general methods for improving EAs in dynamic environments. Additionally, several other important design issues are addressed involving com­putational efficiency, performance measurement, and the testing of EAs in dynamic environments.
