Genetic Algorithms

Further Reading

Goldberg's classic text is still a valuable resource for the Genetic Algorithm [Goldberg1989], and Holland's text is interesting for those looking to learn about the research into adaptive systems that became the Genetic Algorithm [Holland1975]. Additionally, the seminal work by Koza should be considered for those interested in Genetic Programming [Koza1992], and Schwefel's seminal work should be considered for those with an interest in Evolution Strategies [Schwefel1981]. For an in-depth review of the history of research into the use of simulated evolutionary processed for problem solving, see Fogel [Fogel1998] For a rounded and modern review of the field of Evolutionary Computation, Bäck, Fogel, and Michalewicz's two volumes of "Evolutionary Computation" are an excellent resource covering the major techniques, theory, and application specific concerns [Baeck2000] [Baeck2000a]. For some additional modern books on the unified field of Evolutionary Computation and Evolutionary Algorithms, see De Jong [Jong2006], a recent edition of Fogel [Fogel1995], and Eiben and Smith [Eiben2003].
