Product Description: The Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) is a typical inductive modeling method that is built on principles of self-organization for modeling complex systems. This book clearly presents hybrids of some computational intelligence techniques and GMDH approach.

Product Description: Presently, general-purpose optimization techniques such as Simulated Annealing, and Genetic Algorithms, have become standard optimization techniques. Concerted research efforts have been made recently in order to invent novel optimization techniques for solving real life problems, which have the attributes of memory update and population-based search solutions...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: This work proposes a concept of adaptive memory programming (AMP) for grouping a number of generic optimization techniques used in combinatorial problems. The same common features seen in the use of memory and a local search procedure drive these emerging optimization techniques, which include artificial neural networks, genetic algorithms, tabu search and ant systems...read more
