A new book Essentials of Metaheuristics by Sean Luke is available online. The book can be downloaded for free on its web site. Information about the book from the author’s web site:

This is an open set of lecture notes on metaheuristics algorithms, intended for undergraduate students, practitioners, programmers, and other non-experts. It was developed as a series of lecture notes for an undergraduate course I taught at GMU. The chapters are designed to be printable separately if necessary. As it’s lecture notes, the topics are short and light on examples and theory. It’s best when complementing other texts. With time, I might remedy this.

The Genie in the Machine: How Computer-Automated Inventing is Revolutionizing Law and Buisness

Robert Plotkin has just published a new book for general readers on computer-automated invention and its legal and business implications. I haven’t yet read it all the way through but I see that it focuses quite heavily on invention by means of genetic and evolutionary computation. The author consulted with many researchers in developing the ideas — including myself and several other GPEM editors and authors, listed in the acknowledgments — so I think that he is well informed about the underlying science and engineering.

The book is The Genie in the Machine: How Computer-Automated Inventing is Revolutionizing Law and Business, published by Stanford University Press, May 2009, ISBN 978-0804756990.
