Mutating evolving and doing weird stuff

TIPPINST- My genetic algorithm is finally "alive" and up and running the problem is it will take a while for the results to come back. I have no real idea how long as each entity will run for a different length of time performing the necessary math etc. So I am experiencing mixed feelings at the moment, pride that its running, curiosity as to what its up to, and impatience !

Phd Reference Book - Multi-Objective Optimization using Evolutionary Algorithms

The latest book to occupy my overstuffed shelves is a book written by Kalyanmoy Deb and published by Wiley. Its title is "Multi-Objective Optimization using Evolutionary Algorithms" ISBN 0-471-87339-X

What I like about this book is that it provides a comprehensive overview of GA's as well as examples. Each concept is covered under the following headings

Hand Calculations
Computational Complexity
Advantages
Disadvantages
Simulation Results.

When you are trying to figure out which GA approach to use its great to have a book like this to guide you.

The quest for a phd continues...
