Learning activities and teaching methods
unspecified
Learning outcomes
To introduce our students into the dynamically growing area of softcomputing that is composed by evolutionary algorithms. Besides the theoretical concepts and description of fundamental principles of evolutionary computing, the close attention will be paid to various application opportunities of these algorithms when solving hard problems.
