Description for Genetic and Evolutionary Computation
Genetic and Evolutionary Computation: Medical Applications provides an overview of the range of GEC techniques being applied to medicine and healthcare in a context that is relevant not only for existing GEC practitioners but also those from other disciplines, particularly health professionals. Editor(s): Smith, Stephen L.; Cagnoni, Stefano. Num Pages: 250 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: MJ; UYQ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 231 x 160 x 18. Weight in Grams: 514.
Genetic and Evolutionary Computation: Medical Applications provides an overview of the range of GEC techniques being applied to medicine and healthcare in a context that is relevant not only for existing GEC practitioners but also those from other disciplines, particularly health professionals. There is rapidly increasing interest in applying evolutionary computation to problems in medicine, but to date no text that introduces evolutionary computation in a medical context. By explaining the basic introductory theory, typical application areas and detailed implementation in one coherent volume, this book will appeal to a wide audience from software developers to medical scientists.
