Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

The goal is to introduce the students with modern methods of calculation derived from evolutionary and biological processes (evolutionary algorithms, cellular automata etc.). Student will gain an overview of modern computer-based procedures principles of observation of biological processes and dynamics. Upon successful completion of graduate course will be able to apply the methods discussed in the course to real problems.

Lectures

Summary

The course will discuss a wider range of evolutionary computation. They mentioned as historically classic techniques and modern algorithms. There will also be discussed at the introductory level, cellular automata, artificial life, neural networks, evolutionary hardware, DNA computing, etc. Great emphasis will be placed on the practical side of things - the ability to most discussed methods applied to practical examples. Students should have the comprehensive knowledge of the course of the above areas, including the possibility its use. The course includes laboratory exercises in which students will practice how to program the selected algorithms and their application to solving practical problems.

Way of continuous check of knowledge in the course of semester

Kontrola je založena na vypracovávání protokolů předmětu, pomocí kterých student prokazuje nejen pochopení informací z přednášek, ale i schopnost jejich implementace v daném programovém prostředí. K získání zápočtu je nutno odevzdat cvičícímu všechny požadované protokoly a mít alespoň 80% fyzické účasti na laboratořích. Zápočet je podmínkou NUTNOU k připuštění ke zkoušce. U studentů kombinovaného studia jsou laboratoře nahrazeny vypracováním zadaných protokolů.
