Review of "Genetic Algorithms for Machine Learning by John J. Greffenstette", Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1993.

Abstract

This book is a reprint from a special issue of the journal Machine Learning on Genetic Algorithms (GAs). The fact that it was the third special issue of the journal on GAs shows the continuous increase of interest of people in the field. The five selected articles were presented at the Fourth International Conference on Genetic Algorithms, in June 1991 (San Diego), and at a Special Workshop for Machine Learning at the same conference. The intended book audience is both researchers and practitioners in the field.
