Overview
From the explosion of interest, research, and applications of evolutionary computation a new field emerges-evolutionary electronics. Focused on applying evolutionary computation concepts and techniques to the domain of electronics, many researchers now see it as holding the greatest potential for overcoming the drawbacks of conventional design techniques.
Evolutionary Electronics: Automatic Design of Electronic Circuits and Systems by Genetic Algorithms formally introduces and defines this area of research, presents its main challenges in electronic design, and explores emerging technologies. It describes the evolutionary computation paradigm and its primary algorithms, and explores topics of current interest, such as multi-objective optimization. The authors examine numerous evolutionary electronics applications, draw conclusions about those applications, and sketch the future of evolutionary computation and its applications in electronics.
In coming years, the appearance of more and more advanced technologies will increase the complexity of optimization and synthesis problems, and evolutionary electronics will almost certainly become a key to solving those problems. Evolutionary Electronics is your key to discovering and unlocking the potential of this promising new field.
Editorials
Evolutionary electronics applies the concepts and techniques of evolutionary computation to the domain of electronics. This book describes the evolutionary computation paradigm, which is embedded in a class of algorithms based on biological phenomena, and presents several applications in both analog and digital electronics. The authors describe their research in variable length representation systems, memory based evolutionary algorithms, techniques for dealing with multiple-objective optimization, and the use of speciation techniques in evolutionary computation. The applications focus on optimization of VLSI integrated circuits and the synthesis of filters, operational amplifiers, and programmable chips. Annotation c.
