- I seem to recall that Larry Davis has also done a series of
- lecture/movies. I don't remember who publishes them, but I
- remember they had a booth at AAAI and were also selling a
- bunch of tapes on fuzzy systems. If you have enough $s
- then they may be a good way to get into the field. I think
- they may be a little pricey (for the normal human) but are
- likely to be very cheap relative to the man hours spent
- figuring out how to learn about GAs.
-
- Of course (yawn), JK's book is the right intro to GP, but it
- sounds like you're more interested in straight GAs.
-
- Goldberg's book is probably worth looking at. I don't remember
- whether it has been mentioned.
-
- Genetic Algorithms in Search, Optimisation and Machine Learning
- Goldberg, David E. 1989, Addison-Wesley.
-
- I haven't read Holand's book, but I gather that it is absolutely
- NOT the right place to start.
