<h2>Exploring Science and Engineering with Evolutionary
Computation<br>
</h2>
By Dr. Philip K. McKinley<br>
Room 3105 Engineering Building<br>
7pm this Thursday<br>
<br>

Wouldn't it be great if you could put "Master of Evolutionary
Computation" on your resume? Well this is the next best thing!
This Thursday Dr. McKinley will be giving a talk on evolutionary
computation, an exciting field of computer science that you won't
want to miss out on! Here is a brief overview of the talk from Dr.
McKinley:<br>
<br>
<blockquote>"Evolutionary computation codifies the basic
principles of genetic evolution in computer software, and
provides a powerful method to investigate the driving forces in
both biological systems and complex engineered systems. In this
talk, I will describe our recent studies in applying various
forms of evolutionary computation to problems in science and
engineering, including: studies of bacterial communities and
antibiotic resistance, applications to software engineering and
distributed computing systems, and the design of adaptive and
self-healing autonomous robots."<br>
<br>
</blockquote>
And if all of that isn't enough to get you excited for the talk,
there will also be free pizza!<br>
<br>
See you Thursday!<br>
