Reviews

From the reviews: <p>This superb book is suitable for readers from a wide range of disciplines. <p>Assembly Automation 20 (2000) 86 <p>This is a well-written engineering textbook. Genetic algorithms are properly explained and well motivated. The engineering examples illustrate the power of application of genetic algorithms. <p>Journal of the American Statistical Association March (2002) 366 (Reviewer: William F. Fulkerson) <p>The book is a good contribution to the genetic algorithm area from an applied point of view. It should be read by engineers, undergraduate or postgraduate students and researchers. <p>International Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing 19 (2005) 59 a 62 (Reviewer: Doris Saez)
