{"product_id":"9780792376316","title":"Evolutionary Optimization in Dynamic Environments","description":"Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) have grown into a mature field of  research in optimization, and have proven to be effective and robust  problem solvers for a broad range of static real-world optimization  problems. Yet, since they are based on the principles of natural  evolution, and since natural evolution is a dynamic process in a  changing environment, EAs are also well suited to dynamic optimization  problems. Evolutionary Optimization in Dynamic Environments is  the first comprehensive work on the application of EAs to dynamic  optimization problems. It provides an extensive survey on research in  the area and shows how EAs can be successfully used to  continuously and efficiently adapt a solution to a changing  environment,  find a good trade-off between solution quality and  adaptation cost,  find robust solutions whose quality is  insensitive to changes in the environment,  find flexible  solutions which are not only good but that can be easily adapted when  necessary.      All four aspects are treated in this book, providing a holistic view  on the challenges and opportunities when applying EAs to dynamic  optimization problems. The comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of  the subject, together with details of latest original research, makes  Evolutionary Optimization in Dynamic Environments an invaluable  resource for researchers and professionals who are dealing with  dynamic and stochastic optimization problems, and who are interested  in applying local search heuristics, such as evolutionary algorithms.","brand":"Jurgen Branke","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45858001027390,"sku":"9780792376316","price":5988.93,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9780792376316.jpg?v=1707326999","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780792376316","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
