Summary

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 4th European Conference on Artificial Evolution, AE '99, held in Dunkerque, France in November 1999.The 20 revised full papers presented together with one invited paper were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing from initially more than 40 papers submitted. The book is divided in topical sections on genetic operators and theoretical models, applications, agents and cooperation, and heuristics and outlook.
