Knowledge Incorporation in Evolutionary Computation

Incorporation of a priori knowledge, such as expert knowledge, meta-heuristics and human preferences, as well as domain knowledge acquired during evolu­ tionary search, into evolutionary algorithms has received increasing interest in the recent years. It has been shown from various motivations that knowl­ edge incorporation into evolutionary search is able to significantly improve search efficiency. However, results on knowledge incorporation in evolution­ ary computation have been scattered in
