Handbook of Genetic Programming Applications (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2015): Amir H Gandomi, Amir H Alavi, Conor Ryan Handbook of Genetic Programming Applications (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2015)
Amir H Gandomi, Amir H Alavi, Conor Ryan
R4,349 Discovery Miles 43 490 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This contributed volume, written by leading international researchers, reviews the latest developments of genetic programming (GP) and its key applications in solving current real world problems, such as energy conversion and management, financial analysis, engineering modeling and design, and software engineering, to name a few. Inspired by natural evolution, the use of GP has expanded significantly in the last decade in almost every area of science and engineering. Exploring applications in a variety of fields, the information in this volume can help optimize computer programs throughout the sciences. Taking a hands-on approach, this book provides an invaluable reference to practitioners, providing the necessary details required for a successful application of GP and its branches to challenging problems ranging from drought prediction to trading volatility. It also demonstrates the evolution of GP through major developments in GP studies and applications. It is suitable for advanced students who wish to use relevant book chapters as a basis to pursue further research in these areas, as well as experienced practitioners looking to apply GP to new areas. The book also offers valuable supplementary material for design courses and computation in engineering.

Handbook of Grammatical Evolution (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2018): Conor Ryan, Michael O'Neill, J.J. Collins Handbook of Grammatical Evolution (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2018)
Conor Ryan, Michael O'Neill, J.J. Collins
R4,320 Discovery Miles 43 200 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This handbook offers a comprehensive treatise on Grammatical Evolution (GE), a grammar-based Evolutionary Algorithm that employs a function to map binary strings into higher-level structures such as programs. GE's simplicity and modular nature make it a very flexible tool. Since its introduction almost twenty years ago, researchers have applied it to a vast range of problem domains, including financial modelling, parallel programming and genetics. Similarly, much work has been conducted to exploit and understand the nature of its mapping scheme, triggering additional research on everything from different grammars to alternative mappers to initialization. The book first introduces GE to the novice, providing a thorough description of GE along with historical key advances. Two sections follow, each composed of chapters from international leading researchers in the field. The first section concentrates on analysis of GE and its operation, giving valuable insight into set up and deployment. The second section consists of seven chapters describing radically different applications of GE. The contributions in this volume are beneficial to both novices and experts alike, as they detail the results and researcher experiences of applying GE to large scale and difficult problems. Topics include: * Grammar design * Bias in GE * Mapping in GE * Theory of disruption in GE * Structured GE * Geometric semantic GE * GE and semantics * Multi- and Many-core heterogeneous parallel GE * Comparing methods to creating constants in GE * Financial modelling with GE * Synthesis of parallel programs on multi-cores * Design, architecture and engineering with GE * Computational creativity and GE * GE in the prediction of glucose for diabetes * GE approaches to bioinformatics and system genomics * GE with coevolutionary algorithms in cybersecurity * Evolving behaviour trees with GE for platform games * Business analytics and GE for the prediction of patient recruitment in multicentre clinical trials

Automatic Re-engineering of Software Using Genetic Programming (Hardcover, 2000 ed.): Conor Ryan Automatic Re-engineering of Software Using Genetic Programming (Hardcover, 2000 ed.)

R2,876 Discovery Miles 28 760 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Automatic Re-engineering of Software Using Genetic Programming describes the application of Genetic Programming to a real world application area - software re-engineering in general and automatic parallelization specifically. Unlike most uses of Genetic Programming, this book evolves sequences of provable transformations rather than actual programs. It demonstrates that the benefits of this approach are twofold: first, the time required for evaluating a population is drastically reduced, and second, the transformations can subsequently be used to prove that the new program is functionally equivalent to the original. Automatic Re-engineering of Software Using Genetic Programming shows that there are applications where it is more practical to use GP to assist with software engineering rather than to entirely replace it. It also demonstrates how the author isolated aspects of a problem that were particularly suited to GP, and used traditional software engineering techniques in those areas for which they were adequate. Automatic Re-engineering of Software Using Genetic Programming is an excellent resource for researchers in this exciting new field.

Michael O'Neill, Conor Ryan
R4,318 Discovery Miles 43 180 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Grammatical Evolution: Evolutionary Automatic Programming in an Arbitrary Language provides the first comprehensive introduction to Grammatical Evolution, a novel approach to Genetic Programming that adopts principles from molecular biology in a simple and useful manner, coupled with the use of grammars to specify legal structures in a search. Grammatical Evolution's rich modularity gives a unique flexibility, making it possible to use alternative search strategies - whether evolutionary, deterministic or some other approach - and to even radically change its behavior by merely changing the grammar supplied. This approach to Genetic Programming represents a powerful new weapon in the Machine Learning toolkit that can be applied to a diverse set of problem domains.

Cyril Taylor, Conor Ryan
R3,278 Discovery Miles 32 780 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

A thorough examination of the characteristics` belonging to a high-performing school, this book is written by the Chairman of the Specialist Schools Trust and the education advisor to the Prime Minister, Tony Blair. It draws on numerous case studies of successful schools, as well as showing how previously failing schools have been turned around. Looking at such areas as leadership, staffing, target-setting, discipline and order, curriculum innovation and individual learning, the book offers a blueprint to head teachers and others trying to develop excellent schools.

Excellence in Education: the making of great schools tells the side of the story of education in England not often portrayed in the media - one that celebrates the success of the many schools that have experienced dramatic improvements in the last five years. The authors discuss all the elements that have contributed to these improvements including: improving the quality of the leadership team; the setting of targets and use of data; curriculum innovation; the use of ICT; improved discipline and order; the designation of nearly 2,000 schools as specialist schools. Primarily about the experience of secondary schools - although full of techniques and case studies relevant to primary schools - this book will serve as a manual for school improvement.
