Natural Computing Algorithms

“The book is very well organized. … the book is not only suitable for beginners in natural computing, it can also serve as a valuable reference for experts. … the book can be thought of not only as a collection of algorithms illustrating many methods and tools used in natural computing, but also as a textbook covering many aspects of the area which can be used in an introductory course on natural computing.” (Miguel A. Gutiérrez-Naranjo, Mathematical Reviews, June, 2016)

“One interesting advantage of the volume is that it was prepared by and for scholars that are not necessarily in computer science. The book is definitely a good reference and a well-written and well-explained introduction to natural computing … .” (Hector Zenil, Computing Reviews, April, 2016)

“I very much enjoyed reading this book and found it to be very comprehensive, well-structured, and well-written. It provides good coverage of natural computing approaches as well as a thorough description of each algorithm with its variants. … suitable as a textbook for a graduate student course as well as a self-study guide for research students, since there are a good number of examples provided throughout. Furthermore, the algorithm descriptions, figures and tables facilitate the learning of the different concepts.” (Simone A. Ludwig, Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines, March, 2016)
