This book is the result of a special session on constraint-handling techniques used in evolutionary algorithms within the Congress on Evolutionary Computation (

Intended for researchers and practitioners alike, this book covers carefully selected yet broad topics in optimization, machine learning, and metaheuristics. Wr

The use of evolutionary computation techniques has grown considerably over the past several years. Over this time, the use and applications of these techniques
