Evolutionary Computation: The Fossil Record, edited by David Fogel
Treating economies in terms of evolutionary systems is central to
bionomics. Many current efforts are being to made to model such systems
using evolutionary algorithms. To date, however, there has been no
complete and accurate accounting of the historical development of the
field of evolutionary computation.
Evolutionary Computation: The Fossil Record (IEEE Press), edited by David
Fogel, fills this niche. Featuring copious introductory material provided
by the editor, this formidable collection of landmark papers spans the
entire history of evolutionary computation -- from today's investigations
back to its very origins more than 40 years ago. Chapter by chapter,
Fogel
highlights how early ideas have developed into current thinking and how
others have been lost and await rediscovery. The introductions to each
chapter reflect Fogel's one-on-one conversations with the authors and
their
colleagues, conducted over a period of four years. The book provides
in-depth historical information and technical detail that is simply
unmatched in the field. This volume is complete with an extensive
bibliograph of related literature.
