genetic algorithm
A type of evolving computer program, first developed by the computer scientist John Holland, whose strategy of arriving at solutions is based on principles taken from genetics. Basically, the genetic algorithm is an algorithm that utilizes the mixing of genetic information in sexual reproduction, random mutations, and natural selection at arriving at solutions. Genetic algorithms, like biological systems, show adaptation.
