Reviews

“This highly technical book is meant for a very specialized audience: researchers in GP. The topics discussed offer interesting insight into how research in GP is evolving. … I strongly recommend this book for researchers in evolutionary computing and GP.” (S. V. Nagaraj, Computing Reviews, November 12, 2020)
