Genetic algorithms

-----------------------------------

I've been looking into genetic algorithms a lot, and I was wondering if anyone knows of any good books on the subject.

This subject has completely renewed my love of programming. I'll post some neat stuff in the future.

I've got two books relating to this in my e-book archive, although probably only one of them is of interest to you. "David Coley World Scientific-- Introduction to Genetic Algorithms for Scientists and Engineers (1999)"

It's in the "Djvu" format, unfortunatly. You can get the plug-in here: http://www.djvuzone.org/download/index.html

I've uploaded it for you, at http://thegoban.com/genalg.djvu

Enjoy :D

The other one is called "Fusion Of Neural Networks, Fuzzy Systems And Genetic Algorithms - Industrial Applications." It's in .html form, so a lot more convenient. I can upload that one too, if you're interested :)
