Written in an accessible and easy-to-read style, this
cutting-edge book presents advanced solutions to current
and future telecommunications optimization problems. The
field of telecommunications is growing and changing ever
more rapidly, presenting new real-world problems for
optimization researchers to address. Telecommunications
engineers tend to know all about the problems involved but
are often not aware of developments in computer science
and artificial intelligence that might solve those problems.
This unique book takes a...

This text examines how multiobjective evolutionary algorithms and related techniques can be used to solve problems, particularly in the disciplines of science and engineering. Contributions by leading researchers show how the concept of multiobjective optimization can be used to reformulate and resolve problems in areas such as constrained optimization, co-evolution, classification, inverse modeling, and design.

This book constitutes the refereed post-workshop proceedings of the AISB International Workshop on Evolutionary Computing, held in Manchester, UK, in April 1997.
The 22 strictly reviewed and revised full papers presented were selected for inclusion in the book after two rounds of refereeing. The papers are organized in sections on evolutionary approaches to issues in biology and economics, problem structure and finite landscapes, evolutionary machine learning and classifier systems, evolutionary scheduling, and more techniques and applications of evolutionary algorithms.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Conference on Multi-Criterion Optimization, EMO 2001, held in Zurich, Switzerland in March 2001.
The 45 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 87 submissions. Also included are two tutorial surveys and two invited papers. The book is organized in topical sections on algorithm improvements, performance assessment and comparison, constraint handling and problem decomposition, uncertainty and noise, hybrid and alternative methods, scheduling, and applications of...

This volume contains a selection of papers presented at the 9th Workshop on Membrane Computing, WMC9, which took place in Edinburgh, UK, during July 28 31,2008. The ?rst three workshopson membrane computing were or- nized in Curtea de Arge, s, Romania they took place in August 2000 (with the proceedings published in Lecture Notes in Computer Science, volume 2235), in August 2001 (with a selection of papers published as a special issue of Fun- menta Informaticae, volume 49, numbers 1 3, 2002), and in August 2002 (with the proceedings published in Lecture Notes in Computer Science, volume...
