Hes starred for Manchester United, for Englands national team, and more recently for the Spanish team Real Madrid. Find out how this boy from East London became soccers most famous superstar.
This unique volume is the first publication on software engineering and computational intelligence (CI) viewed as a synergistic interplay of neurocomputing, granular computation (including fuzzy sets and rough sets), and evolutionary methods. It presents a unified view of CI in the context of software engineering.The book addresses a number of crucial issues: what is CI, what role does it play in software development, how are CI elements built into successive phases of the software life cycle, and what is the role played by CI in quantifying fundamental features of software artifacts?With contributions from leading researchers and practitioners, the book provides the reader with a wealth of new concepts and approaches, complete algorithms, in-depth case studies, and thought-provoking exercises. The topics coverage include neurocomputing, granular as well as evolutionary computing, object-oriented analysis and design in software engineering. There is also an extensive bibliography.

Demonstrating that genetic programming (GP) is now capable of delivering routine human-competitive machine intelligence, this book applies GP to a variety of problems including synthesis of controllers, circuits, antennas, genetic networks, and metabolic pathways. Koza (medicine, Stanford) and co-authors describe numerous examples where GP has created an entity that either infringes or duplicates the functionality of a previously patented invention. Problems include reinvention of negative feedback, parameterized controller for two families of plants, and results for a low-voltage Balun circuit. The book includes a DVD presentation.
