Toward Artificial Sapience: Principles and Methods for Wise Systems

Springer, 2007

The current attempt to emulate human sapience (wisdom) by artificial means should be a step in the right direction beyond the Artificial/Computational Intelligence and Soft Computing disciplines, but is it warranted? Have humans achieved a level of modeling smart systems that justifies talking about sapience-wisdom?

Linkage in Evolutionary Computation (Studies in Computational Intelligence)

Springer, 2008

In recent years, the issue of linkage in GEAs has garnered greater attention and recognition from researchers. Conventional approaches that rely much on ad hoc tweaking of parameters to control the search by balancing the level of exploitation and exploration are grossly inadequate. As shown in the work reported here, such parameters tweaking based...

C Compilers for ASIPs: Automatic Compiler Generation with LISA

Springer, 2009
