In an effort to encourage collaboration and facilitate exchange of ideas and information related to the thriving field of Genetic Programming, Genetic Programming Theory and Practice annual workshop was organized by the University of Michigan's Center? For the Study of Complex Systems to provide a forum for both those who developed the theory of computation and the practice of the art calculations. Genetic Programming Theory and Practice VII presents the results of this workshop, contributions by leading international researchers and practitioners in the GP arena. Applications include chemical process control area, circuit design, financial data mining and bio-informatics, to name a few. About this book: Discuss obstacles encountered when solving large-scale, sophisticated applications Provides in-depth presentation of the latest and most significant application of the GP and the most recent theoretical results with direct application to the problem of state-of-the-art GP donated by theorists from major universities and active practitioners from industry to investigate how theory informs practice and how GP practice impacts GP theory GP Genetic Programming Theory and Practice VII suitable for researchers, practitioners and students of Genetic Programming, including technical industry staff, technical consultants and business entrepreneurs.
