Sorry to take so long to get this firmed-up... sure, I'd be happy to do a lecture on any of the April dates. How about the following: Evolving Algorithms An algorithm is a procedure by which a particular class of problems can be solved. Normally, computers solve problems using algorithms that were created by human reasoning. In this lecture, we will introduce the basic concepts of Genetic Programming: a method that uses a simulated evolutionary process to create algorithms. -- Hank Dietz, Professor & James F.
