Advances in Evolutionary Algorithms: Theory, Design and Practice

Buy
The goal of this book is to develop efficient optimization algorithms to solve diverse real-world problems of graded difficulty. Genetic and evolutionary mechanisms have been deployed for reaching the goal.

This book has made five significant contributions in the realm of genetic and evolutionary computation (GEC).

Practical guidelines for developing genetic algorithms (GAs) to solve realworld problems have been proposed. This fills a long standing gap between theory and practice of GAs. A practical population-sizing model for computing solutions with desired quality has also been developed. The model needs no statistical information about the problems. It has duly been validated by computer simulation experiments.

The suggested design-guidelines have been followed in developing a GA for solving the shortest path (SP) routing problem. Experimental studies validate the effectiveness of the guidelines. Further, the population-sizing model passes the feasibility test for this application. It appears to be applicable to a wide class of problems.

Elitist compact genetic algorithms (cGAs) have been developed under the framework of simple estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs). They can deal with memory- and time-constrained problems. In addition, they do not require any prior knowledge about the problems. The design approach enables a typical cGA to overcome selection noise. This is achieved by persisting with the current best solution until, hopefully a better solution is found. A higher quality of solutions and a higher rate of convergence are attained in this way for most of the test problems. The hidden connection between EDAs and evolutionary strategies (ESs) has been made explicit. An analytical justification of this relationship is followed by its empirical verification. Further, a speedup model that quantifies convergence improvement has also been developed. Experimental evidence has been supplied to support the claims.

Web Based Project Coaching: Requirements, Design, Implementation and Evaluation of Online Coaching Services (Informationsmanagement und Computer Aided Team)
Web Based Project Coaching: Requirements, Design, Implementation and Evaluation of Online Coaching Services (Informationsmanagement und Computer Aided Team)

The traditional project coaching takes place mostly in a number of face-to-face coaching sessions. However, under conditions of time pressure in IT projects, a physical presence of coaches could form a bottleneck. These facts led to the idea of using Internet technologies to support  the project coaching. The benefits of the web based...

Mac OS X Leopard Killer Tips
Killer Tips books are written with one goal in mind: to allow the reader to work faster and smarter. In other books, you’ll often find that the most useful information is found in sidebars, tips, and notes. In a Killer Tips book, there’s nothing to weed through: it’s all sidebars, tips, and notes! Here, Scott Kelby gives you...

Kant's 'Critique of Practical Reason': A Critical Guide (Cambridge Critical Guides)
Kant's 'Critique of Practical Reason': A Critical Guide (Cambridge Critical Guides)

The idea for this project grew out of a conversation between Jens Timmermann, Steve Engstrom and Andrews Reath at a conference on Kant’s moral philosophy hosted by Peking University in May 2004. We believe that Andy suggested that there was a need for a volume of new essays on the Critique of Practical Reason, and Jens suggested that we...

Advances in Natural Multimodal Dialogue Systems (Text, Speech and Language Technology)
Advances in Natural Multimodal Dialogue Systems (Text, Speech and Language Technology)
The chapters in this book jointly contribute to what we shall call the field of natural and multimodal interactive systems engineering. This is not yet a well-established field of research and commercial development but, rather, an emerging one in all respects. It brings together, in a process that, arguably, was bound to happen, contributors from...
