Title: From Darwin to Darware: Evolutionary Computation and Evolvable Hardware Abstract: The idea of applying the biological principle of natural evolution to artificial systems, introduced more than four decades ago, has seen impressive growth in the past few years. Usually grouped under the term evolutionary algorithms or evolutionary computation, we find the domains of genetic algorithms, evolution strategies, evolutionary programming, and genetic programming. Evolutionary algorithms are common nowadays, having been successfully applied to numerous problems from different domains. One of their recent applications is in the burgeoning field of evolvable hardware, which involves the use of electronic circuits (such as field programmable gate arrays -- FPGAs) as a platform on which evolution takes place. This talk will introduce both evolutionary computation in general, as well as the domain of evolvable hardware. Biography: http://lslwww.epfl.ch/~moshes/biography.html Moshe.
