The XCS Library (XCSLib) is an open source C++ library for
genetics-based machine learning and learning classifier systems. It
provides (i) several reusable components that can be employed to design
new learning paradigms inspired to the learning classifier system
principles; and (ii) the implementation of two well-known and widely
used models of learning classifier systems.

The Entrepreneurial Engineer

Entrepreneurial times call for The Entrepreneurial Engineer

Entrepreneurial times call for The Entrepreneurial Engineer

In an age when technology and business are merging as never before, today’s engineers need skills matched with the times. Today, career success as an engineer is determined as much by an ability to communicate with coworkers, sell ideas, and manage time as by talent at manipulating a Laplace transform, coding a Java(r) object, or analyzing a statically indeterminate structure.

This book covers those nontechnical skills needed by today’s entrepreneurial engineers who mix strong technical know-how, business and organizational prowess, and an alert eye for opportunity. Author David Goldberg unlocks the keys to ten core competencies at the heart of what entrepreneurial engineers need to master to be effective in a fast-moving world of deals, teams, startups, and innovating corporations. You’ll discover how to:

  • Feel the essence-and the joys-of engineering
  • Examine personal motivation and set goals
  • Master time management and organization
  • Write fast and well under pressure
  • Prepare and deliver effective presentations
  • Understand and practice good human relations
  • Act ethically in matters large, small, and engineering
  • Assess technology opportunities
  • Understand teams, leadership, culture, and the organization of organizations

David Goldberg’s Genetic Algorithms in Search, Optimization and Machine Learning is by far the bestselling introduction to genetic algorithms. Goldberg is one of the preeminent researchers in the field–he has published over 100 research articles on genetic algorithms and is a student of John Holland, the father of genetic algorithms–and his deep understanding of the material shines through. The book contains a complete listing of a simple genetic algorithm in Pascal, which C programmers can easily understand. The book covers all of the important topics in the field, including crossover, mutation, classifier systems, and fitness scaling, giving a novice with a computer science background enough information to implement a genetic algorithm and describe genetic algorithms to a friend.
