Advances in Genetic Programming

If you are interested in learning about Genetic Programming, a good place to start is the book Advances in Genetic Programming edited by Kenneth E. Kinnear.


The book contains a compilation of chapters written by several authors. The most prominent is John R. Koza, who provides a very good introduction to GP. Mr. Koza is the author of the definitive book Genetic Programming: On the Programming of Computers by Means of Natural Selection (Complex Adaptive Systems). But before you start with his 800 page explanation, the Kinnear book is a less overwhelming introduction.

You can find more information and the Table of Contents at the MIT Press Web site.

While looking up the Kinnear book on Amazon, I discovered that there were two follow-ups written. I just ordered copies and will review them at a later date.
