[edit] Evolutionary algorithm techniques
Similar techniques differ in the implementation details and the nature of the particular applied problem.
Evolutionary Algorithms (EA)
Evolutionary algorithms refer to a class of algorithms based on probabilistic adaptation inspired by the principles of natural evolution.
Evolutionary Algorithms - Emulating the process of evolution in order to "evolve" a better solution to a given problem. The most known subfield of EA is Genetic Algorithms.

Heitkotter & Beasley (2000) elaborate: 'Evolutionary algorithm is an umbrella term used to describe computer-based problem solving systems which use computational models of some of the known mechanisms of evolution as key elements in their design and ...
The k-means algorithm is an evolutionary algorithm that gains its name from its method of operation. The algorithm clusters observations into k groups, where k is provided as an input parameter.
The field is characterized by the extensive use of computer programs and computer simulations which include evolutionary algorithms (EA), genetic algorithms (GA), genetic programming (GP), artificial chemistries (AC), agent based models, ...
Genetic algorithms are a particular class of evolutionary algorithms (also known as evolutionary computation) that use techniques inspired by evolutionary biology such as inheritance, mutation, selection, and crossover (also called recombination).

Multi-agent planning problems try to determine the best plan for a community of agents, using cooperation and competition to achieve a given goal.[44] These problems are related emerging fields like evolutionary algorithms and swarm intelligence.
