Product Description

Review
"[The authors] have performed a remarkable double service with this excellent book on genetic programming. First, they give an up-to-date view of the rapidly growing field of automatic creation of computer programs by means of evolution and, second, they bring together their own innovative and formidable work on evolution of assembly language machine code and linear genomes."
--John R. Koza

Product Description
Since the early 1990s, genetic programming (GP)-a discipline whose goal is to enable the automatic generation of computer programs-has emerged as one of the most promising paradigms for fast, productive software development. GP combines biological metaphors gleaned from Darwin's theory of evolution with computer-science approaches drawn from the field of machine learning to create programs that are capable of adapting or recreating themselves for open-ended tasks.

This unique introduction to GP provides a detailed overview of the subject and its antecedents, with extensive references to the published and online literature. In addition to explaining the fundamental theory and important algorithms, the text includes practical discussions covering a wealth of potential applications and real-world implementation techniques. Software professionals needing to understand and apply GP concepts will find this book an invaluable practical and theoretical guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars The only Genetic Programming text book., 22 Nov 2000
By A Customer
For those wishing a complete introduction to the field of Genetic Programming, this is an essential purchase.

It is targetted at users without a computing science background and is structured to allow readers to be selective as to which chapters to read, according to their background (although I would advise reading all chapters).

Of particular use is a chapter covering the biological foundation of GP (a subject barely covered in most texts), and the fact that this is a text book (ie it is written in a style that is far easier to read and understand than Koza).

Add to this the fact that it also covers developments in the field up to c1996 and a good list of GP resources. Excellent.
