Review # 1 was written on 2008-02-26 00:00:00 Gerarde Nicholas I read this book almost eleven years ago. This is a remarkable book and you must definitely read it if you are into evolutionary algorithms, machine learning, genetic programming, computer science and/or optimization. The authors introduce a novel way of automatically generating computer programs for solving user-specified problems. The authors begin by talking about the genetic analog from which they conceived the idea. Then they speak about how a genetic algorithm could be coupled with a grammar specified in a Backus-Naur Form to generate computer programs. In short, this is a small book that you can almost finish in a single sitting. And you will stand up well equipped with the technical and conceptual underpinnings of the algorithm.
