Fitness landscapes are an abstract way for describing the relationship between the genetically possible (genotype), the actually realized (phenotype) and the survival/reproduction success (fitness). In other words, fitness landscapes are about analysing and visualizing the relationships between genotypes, phenotypes and fitness, while these relationships lay at the centre of attempts to mathematically describe evolutionary processes and evolutionary dynamics.
The tutorial will cover the following topics.
- Principles and perspectives of fitness landscapes
- Examples of empirical and computational landscapes
- Topology, measures and problem hardness
- Coevolutionary and dynamic fitness landscapes
- Open questions and research topics
