Contents:
Evolutionary Algorithms, Ant Colony Optimization, and Particle Swarm Optimization are nature-inspired algorithms in the field of 'Computational Intelligence' that can be used when an optimization problem becomes to large and to complex to be solved by a conventional approach efficiently. As our world turns digital, methods of Computational Intelligence become more and more popular for solving challenging tasks such as process optimization, market analysis, strategic planning, and logistics.
This lecture introduces modeling of technical and operational systems before proceeding with various algorithms from the area of Computational Intelligence. The lecture covers also multi-objective optimization and statistical methods for algorithm evaluation. The topics presented in the lecture will be subject to 'pencil and paper' as well as 'hands-on programming' exercises in the labs.
