Abstract
The objective of this chapter is to motivate the use of evolutionary techniques for solving optimization problems. The chapter is conducted in such a way that it is clear the necessity of using evolutionary optimization methods for the solution of complex problems present in engineering. The chapter also gives an introduction to the optimization techniques, considering their main characteristics.
