Experimental Research in Evolutionary Computation: The New Experimentalism (Natural Computing Series)

Springer, 2006

Experimentation is necessary - a purely theoretical approach is not reasonable. The new experimentalism, a development in the modern philosophy of science, considers that an experiment can have a life of its own. It provides a statistical methodology to learn from experiments, where the experimenter should distinguish between statistical...

Combinatorial Optimization: Theory and Algorithms (Algorithms and Combinatorics)

Springer, 2005

This well-written textbook on combinatorial optimization puts special emphasis on theoretical results and algorithms with provably good performance, in contrast to heuristics. The book contains complete (but concise) proofs, as well as many deep results, some of which have not appeared in any previous books.

Foundations of Learning Classifier Systems (Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing)

Springer, 2005

Learning Classifier Systems (LCS) [Holland, 1976] are a machine learning technique which combines evolutionary computing, reinforcement learning, supervised learning or unsupervised learning, and heuristics to produce adaptive systems. They are rulebased systems, where the rules are usually in the traditional production system form of “IF...

The Art of Systems Architecting, Second Edition

CRC Press, 2000

The only way to develop this skill is to serve an apprenticeship with a proven practitioner. However, there are simply not enough gurus to go around, and I would recommend this book both for students of the discipline and as serious reading for experienced designers who wish to recognize and maintain their expertise.

Grid Computing: Experiment Management, Tool Integration, and Scientific Workflows (Lecture Notes in Computer Science)

Springer, 2007

Grid computing has become a topic of significant interest in the scientific community as a means of enabling application developers to aggregate resources scattered around the globe for solving large-scale scientific problems. This monograph addresses four critical software development aspects for the engineering and execution of applications on...

Spatially Structured Evolutionary Algorithms: Artificial Evolution in Space and Time (Natural Computing Series)

Springer, 2005

Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) is now a mature problem-solving family of heuristics that has found its way into many important real-life problems and into leading-edge scientific research. Spatially structured EAs have different properties than standard, mixing EAs. By virtue of the structured disposition of the population members they bring about...

Intelligent Techniques for Planning

Idea Group Publishing, 2004

The Intelligent Techniques for Planning presents a number of modern approaches to the area of automated planning. These approaches combine methods from classical planning such as the construction of graphs and the use of domain-independent heuristics with techniques from other areas of artificial intelligence. The book presents, in detail, a number...

Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimization: 6th European Conference, EvoCOP 2006

Springer, 2006

Metaheuristics have often been shown to be effective for difficult combinatorial optimization problems appearing in various industrial, economical, and scientific domains. Prominent examples of metaheuristics are evolutionary algorithms, simulated annealing, tabu search, scatter search, memetic algorithms, variable neighborhood search, iterated...

Advanced FPGA Design: Architecture, Implementation, and Optimization

John Wiley & Sons, 2007

In the design-consulting business, I have been exposed to countless FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) designs, methodologies, and design techniques. Whether my client is on the Fortune 100 list or is just a start-up company, they will inevitably do some things right and many things wrong. After having been exposed to a wide variety of...

Metaheuristics: Progress in Complex Systems Optimization (Operations Research/Computer Science Interfaces Series)

Springer, 2007

Metaheuristics has grown and continues to grow steadily. Seen both from the technical point of view and from the application-oriented side, these optimization tools have established their value in a remarkable story of success. Researchers have demonstrated the ability of these methods to solve hard combinatorial problems of practical sizes within...

Critical Thinking for Managers: Structured Decision-Making and Persuasion in Business (Management for Professionals)

Springer, 2021

This book discusses critical thinking as a tool for more compassionate leadership, presenting tried and tested methods for managing disagreement, for anticipating and solving problems, and for enhancing empathy. Employing a lighter tone of voice than most management books, it also shows how and when less-than-rational mechanisms such...

Information Processing with Evolutionary Algorithms: From Industrial Applications to Academic Speculations

Springer, 2004

The last decade of the twentieth century has witnessed a surge of interest in numerical, computational intensive approaches to information processing. The lines that draw the boundaries between statistics, optimization, artificial intelligence and information processing are disappearing and it is not uncommon to find well founded and sophisticated...
