Foundations of Genetic Algorithms 1999 (FOGA 5)

Foundations of Genetic Algorithms, Volume 5 is the fifth in the series of books recording the prestigious Foundations of Genetic Algorithms Workshops, sponsored and organized by the International Society of Genetic Algorithms specifically to address theoretical publications on genetic algorithms and classifier systems. This volume's papers deal with GA dynamics; genetic operators (mostly in their relationship to schemata); characterization of landscapes over which an algorithm is searching; and the interaction between different parameters or strategies used for controlling the course of genetic search.
