Recent advances in evolutionary optimization techniques in applied electromagnetics

This presentation will focus on: (a) a tutorial introduction to GA, PSO and CMA-ES by describing in a novel fashion the underlying concepts and recent advances for those who have used these techniques and for those who have not had any experiences in these areas, (b) a unique approach in performing fundamental comparative studies among these algorithms, (c) demonstration of the potential applications of these algorithms to a variety of electromagnetic and antenna designs, and (d) assessment of the advantages and the limitations of these techniques.
