An essential capacity of intelligence is the ability to learn. An
artificially intelligent system that could learn would not have to
be programmed for every eventuality; it could adapt to its changing
environment and conditions just as biological systems do.
"Illustrating Evolutionary Computation with Mathematica" introduces
evolutionary computation to the technically savvy reader who wishes
to explore this fascinating and increasingly important field.
Unique among books on evolutionary computation, the book also
explores the application of evolution to developmental processes in
nature, such as the growth processes in cells and plants. If you
are a newcomer to the evolutionary computation field, an engineer,
a programmer, or even a biologist wanting to learn how to model the
evolution and coevolution of plants, this book will provide you
with a visually rich and engaging account of this complex
subject.
* Introduces the major mechanisms of biological evolution.
* Demonstrates many fascinating aspects of evolution in nature with
simple, yet illustrative examples.
* Explains each of the major branches of evolutionary computation:
genetic algorithms, genetic programming, evolutionary programming,
and evolution strategies.
* Demonstrates the programming of computers by evolutionary
principles using Evolvica, a genetic programming system designed by
the author.
* Shows in detail how to evolve developmental programs modeled by
cellular automata and Lindenmayer systems.
* Provides Mathematica notebooks on the Web that include all the
programs in the book and supporting animations, movies, and
graphics.
