Huh. I'm a 2nd year undergrad atm, and came across an instance of the nurse scheduling problem at my on-campus job. I did some research and delved into evolutionary computation, eventually deciding on genetic algorithms to solve my schedule problem. (I'm using a self-adapted version of NSGA II)

Anyways, all my research has gotten me very interested in all the topics you mentioned, also neuroevolution. I actually brought up neuroevolution and optimization problems to my professor to get his insight, but he wasn't able to help me out much.

I keep finding that people state computational intelligence was all the rage about 10 years ago, and can't find much work on what is going on with it now. Can you provide me with some more info in the field?

I can only point you to the book we used at the time: Computational Intelligence: An Introduction http://jasss.soc.surrey.ac.uk/7/1/reviews/ramanath.html Although there were many class handouts and journal papers we had to read too.

Thanks - at this point I have looked through as much material on the subject since my project really only involves genetic evolution and multi objective optimization. Time to dive in!
