The following online references don't even scratch the surface but were mentioned in the session on AI and Mac.
1. www.mikuni.com/neurolab/NeuroLab.html - this is the "modelling" environment used to demonstrate a variety of neural nets.
2. www.bnti.com - these are the folks with the massively parallel neural net PCI boards (only for Windows now, sorry).
3. MicroGA is available from me (as a distributor). This is a C++ library for the Mac which implements a simple Genetic Algorithm class. Contact me (Bill Worzel) at billw@arroyosoft.com for details.
4. www.santafe.edu is the Santa Fe Institute's home page. They are perhaps the leading institute of research into Complexity theory and the use of computers in this research.
Here is a *partial* list of books on the subjects discussed. There are a lot more and I'm doing this all from memory (hence the vague references). Please contact me for more details (see above address).
1. Fuzzy Logic and Neural Networks by Bart Kosko
2. Genetic Algorithms by David E. Goldberg.
3. Anything by John Holland (the originator of Genetic Algorithms). Dr. Holland is a professor at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
4. Genetic Programming by John Koza, a professor at Stanford University. He has written two massive tombs on the subject. Maybe he likes to hear himself talk a little too much but some of it is *very* good.
BTW, I'm having trouble getting my Syquest to be recognized so I may not be able to post the promised demos. If not, they will be on the CD.
Thanks for a very enjoyable session! Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
