Memetic Computing is a novel computational paradigm that incorporates the notion of meme(s)[1] as basic units of transferable information encoded in computational representations for boosting the performance of artificial evolutionary systems in the domain of search and optimization.[2][3][4]

The term memetic computing is often unassumingly misinterpreted to mean the same thing as memetic algorithms[5] that typically hybridize population-based global search algorithms with one or more local search schemes. Notably, memetic computing offers a much more broader scope, perpetuating the idea of memes into concepts that pave way towards simultaneous problem learning and optimization approach.


Methods

Handcrafted memes

Machine-crafted memes

Applications

The concept of memes have been exploited in various research fields, for example, robotics engineering, multi-agent systems, robotics, optimization[6], software engineering, and the social sciences etc.
