Handbook of Research on Nature Inspired Computing for Economics and Management

The Handbook of Research on Nature-Inspired Computing for Economics and Management is an original, comprehensive reference work of research spanning from applications of nature-inspired computing to economics and management. An authoritative two-volume set, this resource provides global coverage on this new and exciting field, gathering the work of over 100 internationally-known contributors. This set also explores how complexities found in nature can be modeled to simulate and optimize business situations. It provides practitioners a global view of the current and future applications of this ground-breaking technology, and also includes more than 1,900 references to existing literature in the field.

Jean-Philippe Rennard received his Ph.D. in Economy (1992) from the University Pierre Mendès France of Grenoble. He also holds an MS in Management (1992) from the High School of Business of the University Pierre Mendès France. As an economist, he is specialized in industrial development, and as a computer scientist, he is deeply involved in biologically inspired computing. He now mainly works on the applications of biologically inspired computing to economy and management.
