It presents a discussion of the theoretical and practical aspects that enabled μGP (MicroGP) to autonomously find the optimal solution of hard problems, handling highly structured data, such as full-fledged assembly programs, with functions and interrupt handlers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a practitioner, μGP is simply a versatile optimizer to tackle most problems with limited setup effort. The book is valuable for all who require heuristic problem-solving methodologies, such as engineers dealing with verification and test of electronic circuits; or researchers working in robotics and mobile communication. Examples are provided to guide the reader through the process, from problem definition to gathering results.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor an evolutionary computation researcher, μGP may be regarded as a platform where new operators and strategies can be easily tested.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMicroGP (the toolkit) is an active project hosted by Sourceforge: http:\/\/ugp3.sourceforge.net\/\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2011-04-07\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780387094250\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-0-387-09426-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 178\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47400291664012,"sku":"9780387094250","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780387094250.jpg?v=1775783569","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780387094250","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
