A Review on Design Optimization with Interactive Evolutionary Computation

Interactive Evolutionary Computation (IEC) utilises humancomputer interaction as part of system optimisation and therefore constitutes an ideal platform for developing and improving systems that are subjectively influenced. Recently, interest in the usage of IEC for subjectively influenced design practice has shown an increase. In this paper the current state of the utilisation of IEC based optimisation platforms for varying design applications are reviewed. The design fields are categorized by conceptual design, industrial design, and finally, artistic design. We also present problems facing IEC and current research practice to resolve them
