Genetic Programming
Springer.Genetic.Programming.Theory.And.Practice.II （遗传算法理论与实践 II） 一本系统介绍遗传算法理论和实际应用的经典好书 The work described in this book was first presented at the Second Workshop on Genetic Programming, Theory and Practice, organized by the Center for the Study of Complex Systems at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, 13-15 May 2004. The goal of this workshop series is to promote the exchange of research results and ideas between those who focus on Genetic Programming (GP) theory and those who focus on the application of GP to various realworld problems. In order to facilitate these interactions, the number of talks and participants was small and the time for discussion was large. Further, participants were asked to review each other’s chapters before the workshop. Those reviewer comments, as well as discussion at the workshop, are reflected in the chapters presented in this book. Additional information about the workshop, addendums to chapters, and a site for continuing discussions by participants and by others can be found at http://cscs.umich.edu:8000/GPTP-2004/. We thank all the workshop participants for making the workshop an exciting and productive three days. In particular we thank all the authors, without whose hard work and creative talents, neither the workshop nor the book would be possible. We also thank our keynote speakers Lawrence (“Dave”) Davis of NuTech Solutions, Inc., Jordan Pollack of Brandeis University, and Richard Lenski of Michigan State University, who delivered three thought-provoking speeches that inspired a great deal of discussion among the participants. The workshop received support from these sources: The Center for the Study of Complex Systems (CSCS); Third Millennium Venture Capital Limited; State Street Global Advisors, Boston, MA; Biocomputing and Developmental Systems Group, Computer Science and Information Systems, University of Limerick; Christopher T. May, RedQueen Capital Management; and Dow Chemical, Core R&D/Physical Sciences. xiv GENETIC PROGRAMMING THEORY AND PRACTICE II We thank all of our sponsors for their kind and generous support for the workshop and GP research in general. A number of people made key contributions to running the workshop and assisting the attendees while they were in Ann Arbor. Foremost among them was Howard Oishi. Howard was assisted by Mike Charters. We also thank Bill Tozier for helping with reading and copy-editing chapters. Melissa Fearon’s editorial efforts were invaluable from the initial plans for the book through its final publication. Thanks also to Deborah Doherty of Kluwer for helping with various technical publishing issues. Finally, we thank Carl Simon, Director of CSCS, for his support for this endeavor from its very inception.
