IEE/CSE 598: Lecture 1A (2026-01-13): Introduction to Course Policies and Motivations [AUDIO ISSUES]

This lecture introduces the main policies of the course and an outline of its content. We close with an introduction to the concepts of heuristics, metaheurisitcs, and hyperheuristics in the context of Engineering Design Optimization specifically and optimization more generally. We hint at the idea that nature provides templates for heuristics at all three levels, and this class aims to understand how these natural systems work and what can be taken from them in the design of heuristics for engineered systems. Unfortunately, due to some technical issue in the room, the audio is spotty at first and then eventually completely cuts out. Those same issues also required using the whiteboard, which isn't visible from this camera perspective. The whiteboard notes linked below cover the same content as was covered in the class -- they were augmented after class to be complete. Whiteboard notes from this lecture can be found at: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/gza807... This lecture was recorded by Theodore P. Pavlic as part of IEE/CSE 598 (Bio-Inspired AI and Optimization) at Arizona State University.
