Evolutionary computation as a form of organization

Traditional areas of application of genetic algorithms (GA) are engineering and tech-nology. Success of genetic algorithms there is well known. This paper explores the use of genetic algorithms as models to in-uence the design of organization. In par-ticular, we outline the concept of evolution-ary organization process based on two recent cases: the Teamwork for a Quality Educa-tion (TQE) and Free Knowledge Exchange (FKE) projects. The distinguishing feature of both projects is that computational evo-lutionary processes in uence the organiza-tional environment, providing the structure of interactions of people and facilitating their communication. In both cases, the organiza-tional structure and people become directly involved into the evolutionary process inte-grating the power of evolutionary computa-tion with the competence of participating hu-man beings.
