This volume contains selected papers from the presentations accepted for the AI (Artificial Intelligence) 1993 and AI 1994 Workshops on Evolutionary Computation. A range of topics in the field of evolutionary computation are discussed here.

The effect of function noise on GP efficiency.- Genetic approaches to learning recursive relations.- An application of Genetic Programming to the 4-Op problem using map-trees.- Direct replacement: A Genetic Algorithm without mutation which avoids deception.- Competitive evolution: A natural approach to operator selection.- Emergent collective computational abilities in interacting particle systems.- A perspective on evolutionary computation.- An experimental study of N-Person Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma games.- A systolic architecture for high speed hypergraph partitioning using a genetic algorithm.- Development of hybrid optimisation techniques based on genetic algorithms and simulated annealing.- Development of parallel hybrid optimisation techniques based on genetic algorithms and simulated annealing.- Genetic algorithms for cutting stock problems: With and without contiguity.- GASBOR: A genetic algorithm for switchbox routing in integrated circuits.- The calculus of self-modifiable algorithm based evolutionary computer network routing.- Evolving robot strategy for open ended game.- An evolutionary approach to adaptive model-building.- Training neural networks with influence diagrams.- A behavioural theory of intelligent machines as a framework for the analysis of adaptation.- On evolving robust strategies for iterated prisoner's dilemma.- Comparison of heuristic search algorithms for single machine scheduling problems.- Encoding graphs for genetic algorithms: An investigation using the minimum spanning tree problem.
