Abstract
This chapter provides a brief introduction to the use of evolutionary algorithms in the solution of problems with two or more (normally conflicting) objectives (called “multi-objective optimization problems”). The chapter provides some basic concepts related to multi-objective optimization as well as a short description of the main features of the multi-objective evolutionary algorithms most commonly used nowadays. In the last part of the chapter, some applications of multi-objective evolutionary algorithms in Biology (mainly within Bioinformatics) will be reviewed. The chapter will conclude with some promising paths for future research, aiming to identify areas of opportunity for those interested in the intersection of these two disciplines: multi-objective evolutionary algorithms and Biology.
