Description for Evolution as Computation
Hardback. The study of the genetic basis for evolution has developed with the understanding of the evolvability and programmability of biological systems using genetic algorithms. This work covers the use of evolutionary programming. Series: Natural Computing Series. Num Pages: 348 pages, 13 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PSAJ; UM; UYQ. Category: (G) General (US: Trade); (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 19. Weight in Grams: 754.
The study of the genetic basis for evolution has flourished in this century, as well as our understanding of the evolvability and programmability of biological systems. Genetic algorithms meanwhile grew out of the realization that a computer program could use the biologically-inspired processes of mutation, recombination, and selection to solve hard optimization problems. Genetic and evolutionary programming provide further approaches to a wide variety of computational problems. A synthesis of these experiences reveals fundamental insights into both the computational nature of biological evolution and processes of importance to computer science. Topics include biological models of nucleic acid information processing and ... Read more

Reviews for Evolution as Computation
From the reviews: "Most algorithms used within the domain of so-called ‘soft-computing’ were directly inspired by our knowledge of biological ‘computation’ in living organisms. … This book … as such, reflects the present state of the art. … The reading of the individual contributions should be very useful, both for the mathematician and the computer ...
