A tutorial on genetic algorithms with an emphasis on practical applications
The rapidly expanding field of genetic algorithms has given rise to many new applications in a variety of disciplines. However, most of the existing books on the subject concentrate on theory. Practical Genetic Algorithms is the first introductory-level book to emphasize practical applications through the use of example problems.
In an accessible style, the authors explain why the genetic algorithm is superior in many real-world applications, cover continuous parameter genetic algorithms, and provide in-depth trade-off analysis of genetic algorithm parameter selection. Written for the end user in engineering, science, and computer programming, as well as upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, Practical Genetic Algorithms:
* Provides numerous practical example problems
* Contains over 80 illustrations
* Features many figures and tables
* Includes three appendices: a glossary of terms, a list of genetic algorithm routines in pseudocode, and a list of symbols used in the book.

This well-organized, introductory text takes the reader through the new and rapidly expanding field of genetic algorithms step by step, from a discussion of numerical optimization, to a survey of current extensions to genetic algorithms and applications. For the first time, theory is linked to practical application in a variety of disciplines through the presentation of numerous examples. Includes a glossary of important terms and a list of some genetic algorithm routines in pseudocode.
