Handbook of Bioinspired Algorithms and Applicationsby Stephan Olariu
CRC Press 2005; US$ 139.95Computer and information scientists from the Americas, Europe, and Asia explore connections between biologically inspired techniques and the development of solutions to problems that arise in a variety of problem domains, particularly computationally intractable optimizations and decision-making applications. Among their topics are swarm intelligen more...
Field-Based Coordination for Pervasive Multiagent Systemsby Toru Ishida; Nicholas Jennings; Katia Sycara
Springer 2006; US$ 119.00Software systems involve autonomous and distributed software components that have to execute and interact in open and dynamic environments. This work proposes an interaction model inspired by the way masses and particles in the universe move and self-organize, according to information represented by gravitational and electromagnetic fields. more...
Evolutionary Computation for Modeling and Optimizationby Daniel Ashlock
Springer-Verlag New York Inc 2004; US$ 97.00Provides an introduction to evolutionary computation, selectionist algorithms that operate on populations of structures. This work includes over 100 experiments and over 700 homework problems that introduce the topic with an application-oriented approach. It is useful for engineering of computer science application classes. more...
Handbook of Nature-Inspired and Innovative Computingby Albert Y. Zomaya
Springer-Verlag New York Inc 2004; US$ 159.00As computing devices proliferate, demand increases for an understanding of emerging computing paradigms and models based on natural phenomena. This handbook explores the connection between nature-inspired and traditional computational paradigms. It presents computing paradigms and models based on natural phenomena. more...
Information Processing with Evolutionary Algorithmsby Manuel Grana; Richard Duro; Alicia d'Anjou
Springer 2005; US$ 99.00Based on a selection of papers presented at the Frontiers on Evolutionary Algorithms Conference within JCIS 2002, this volume offers an insight into the wide variety of problems tackled with evolutionary approximations and of the diversity of evolutionary algorithms themselves. more...
Artificial Life Models in Softwareby Andrew Adamatzky; Maciej Komosinski
Springer 2006; US$ 89.95Artificial Life Models on Software' introduces software tools, environments and realities dealing with creation, imitation and analysis of artefactual, virtual and living forms. It presents a nearly exhaustive overview and original analysis of non-profit software packages of simulated and would-be worlds. more...
Experimental Research in Evolutionary Computationby Thomas Bartz-Beielstein
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2006; US$ 99.00Introduces the new experimentalism in evolutionary computation, providing tools to understand algorithms and programs and their interaction with optimization problems. This book bridges the gap between theory and experiment by providing a self-contained experimental methodology and many examples. more...
Adaptive Learning of Polynomial Networksby Nikolay Nikolaev; Hitoshi Iba
Springer-Verlag New York Inc 2006; US$ 95.00Delivers theoretical and practical knowledge for developing algorithms that infer linear and non-linear multivariate models, providing a methodology for inductive learning of Polynomial Neural Network models (PNN) from data. This work emphasizes an organized identification process by which to discover models that generalize and predict well. more...
Creative Evolutionary Systemsby David W. Corne; Peter J. Bentley
Elsevier 2001; US$ 110.00The use of evolution for creative problem solving is one of the most exciting and potentially significant areas in computer science today. Evolutionary computation is a way of solving problems, or generating designs, using mechanisms derived from natural evolution. This book concentrates on applying important ideas in evolutionary computation to creative areas, such as art, music, architecture, and design. It shows how human interaction, new representations, and approaches such as open-ended evolution can extend the capabilities of evolutionary computation from optimization of existing solutions to innovation and the generation of entirely new and original solutions. This book takes a fresh look at creativity, exploring what it is and how... more...
