Olaf Witkowski is a leading expert in AI and Artificial Life. He is the Founding Director of Cross Labs, a research institute in Japan, focusing on the study of intelligence in biological and synthetic systems. He is the President of the Board of Directors of the International Society for Artificial Life, Executive Officer at leading AI company Cross Compass, and External Lecturer at the University of Tokyo. He has cofounded multiple ventures in science and technology on three continents, including YHouse Inc. (nonprofit institute on the emergence of consciousness) and the Center for the Study of Apparent Selves (focusing on the ethics of agents). His research focuses on empathic, open-ended, collective, and hybrid AI built from a mathematical understanding of intelligence in any substrate.Mahdi Khosravy was born in Birjand city, Iran, 1979. He received BSc. in Electrical Engineering (bio-electric) from Sahand University of Technology, Tabriz, Iran, and MSc. in Biomedical Engineering (bio-electric) from Beheshti University of Medical Studies, Tehran, Iran. Mahdi received his Ph.D. in the field of Information Technology from University of the Ryukyus, Okinawa, Japan. He was awarded by the head of University for his excellence in research activities. To grow his international experience in education and research, in September 2010, he joined University of Information Science and Technology (UIST), Ohrid, Macedonia, in the capacity of assistant professor. In 2016, he established a journal in information technology (ejist.uist.edu.mk) in UIST as currently hold its executive editorship. UIST professorship helped him a lot to extend his international collaborations. In July 2017, he became an associate professor. August 2018 he joined the Energy lab in University of the Ryukyus, Japan as a Visiting Researcher, and from April 2018 to September 2019, he was jointly a visiting associate professor in Electrical Engineering Department, Federal Universit of Juiz de For a in Brazil. From October 2019 to 2021 he was Specially Appointed Researcher in Osaka University. Since 2021, he is a senior research scientist in Cross Labs, Cross Compass Ltd., Tokyo, Japan. Dr. Khosravy is a member of IEEE.
Olaf Witkowski is the director of research at Cross Labs, a research institute in machine intelligence, cognitive science, and artificial life, based in Kyoto, Japan. He is also conducts research in the emergence of intelligent life at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, teaches information sciences at the University of Tokyo, and is a regular visitor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. He co-founded ventures in science and technology on three continents, including YHouse in New York – a nonprofit transdisciplinary research institute focused on the origins of consciousness in the universe – and the Center for the Study of Apparent Selves in Kathmandu – studying ancient philosophies and AI. He is an elected board director of the International Society for Artificial Life (ISAL), co-organized the ALIFE 2018 conference ‘Beyond AI’, and co-founded Artificial Life Japan in 2021. He has also organized numerous meetings in AI and cognitive science, including Cross Roads (Tokyo), YHouse Consciousness Club (Manhattan), IAS Cognition Lunches (Princeton).
This book reviews recent advances in theory and applications of genetic algorithm (GA). The book is composed of five parts; Part 1 of the book involves the chapters about the advances in GA theory. Part 2 concerns applications in health, society, and economy. Part 3 has an inclusive focus on application in power systems, and Part 4 concerns the applications of GA in electrical vehicle industries. Finally, Part 5 includes applications in signal and image processing.
