Randy Haupt and Sue Ellen Haupt, both affiliated with The Pennsylvania State University Applied Research Laboratory, emphasize practical applications rather than theory in this second edition of a book/CD- ROM guide for practicing scientists, engineers, economists, artists, and others interested in the basics of genetic algorithms (GAs). This edition contains code, in both MATLAB and High-Performance Fortran, on the CD-ROM, plus expanded information on methods for improving GA performance, and a new chapter on other artificial intelligence methods of optimization such as simulated annealing and ant colony optimization. Chapter exercises allow the book to be used as a text. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

* This book deals with the fundamentals of genetic algorithms and their applications in a variety of different areas of engineering and science
* Most significant update to the second edition is the MATLAB codes that accompany the text
* Provides a thorough discussion of hybrid genetic algorithms
* Features more examples than first edition
