Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Many complex systems found in nature can be viewed as function optimizers. In particular, they can be viewed as such optimizers of functions in extremely high dimensional spaces. Given the difficulty of performing such high-dimensional op timization with modern computers, there has been a lot of exploration of computa tional algorithms that try to emulate those naturally-occurring function optimizers. Examples include simulated annealing (SA [15,18]), genetic algorithms (GAs) and evolutionary computation [2,3,9,11,20-22,24,28]. The ultimate goal of this work is an algorithm that can, for any provided high-dimensional function, come close to extremizing that function. Particularly desirable would be such an algorithm that works in an adaptive and robust manner, without any explicit knowledge of the form of the function being optimized. In particular, such an algorithm could be used for distributed adaptive control---one of the most important tasks engineers will face in the future, when the systems they design will be massively distributed and horribly messy congeries ofcomputational systems.…

Neuware -With the advent of extremely affordable computing power, the world is becoming filled with distributed systems of computationally sophisticated components. However, no current scientific discipline offers a thorough understanding of the relation of such 'collectives' and how well they meet performance criteria. 'Collectives and Design of Complex Systems' lays the foundation for the study of collective intelligence and how these entities can be developed to yield optimal performance. Using an approach that integrates key theoretical principles with applications in real-world scenarios, the author surveys the latest research on the dynamics of collectives, their artificial intelligence aspects, and critical design issues pertaining to them.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 340 pp. Englisch.…
