Friday, September 23, 2016
9:00 am - 3:00 pm

Duke's Center for Interdisciplinary Studies in Science and Cultural Theory is sponsoring a two-day workshop on "Evolutionary Optimization Algorithms," to be held from 9 am - 3 pm on Friday, September 23, and from 1 - 4 pm on Saturday, September 24. The workshop is aimed primarily at scholars in the humanities who are interested in learning about algorithms and digital media, and will be led Daniel Simon, Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Cleveland State University, and author of Evolutionary Optimization Algorithms: Biologically-Inspired and Population-Based Approaches to Computer Intelligence (John Wiley & Sons, 2014: available as an electronic text through the Perkins website). Since this workshop is intended primarily for people in the humanities, it will not assume a strong math or computer programming background, though it will include some practical, hands-on programming. People from the natural and social sciences are also very welcome to attend! (but should keep in mind that this workshop will be a very basic introduction to evolutionary optimization algorithms, rather than an intermediate or advanced discussion)
