Applied Evolutionary Algorithms in Java

the long version

"Applied Evolutionary Algorithms in Java provides the reader with a practical, hands-on approach to applying evolutionary algorithms to computer engineering and scientific problems. The book explains key concepts through clear examples, ranging from simple to more complex problem domains, and all based on real-world industrial problems. It employs a Java-based toolkit for exploring a range of genetic-algorithm techniques. This toolkit provides an easy-to-use visual interface, with integrated graphing and analysis tools. A modest knowledge of basic algebra and graph methods will suffice for a thorough understanding of all material."--Jacket.
