Overview papers
I added a few overview papers on Evolutionary Computation to the downloadables. These provide additional material to my course. Note 1: Since these papers are not yet published their distribution is limited - only for private use and not citeable.
Note 2: If and when my slides and the papers differ, the slides are to be followed for the exam.
