Into a Deeper Understanding of Evolutionary Computing: Exploration, Exploitation, and Parameter Control: Volume 1

The authors note a scarcity of literature addressing the trade-offs between exploration and exploitation with contemporary references, making this work particularly valuable. It aims to deepen the reader's understanding of evolutionary computing, emphasizing exploration, exploitation, and parameter control. It is relevant not only to algorithm developers and the evolutionary computation community but also to students and researchers across scientific disciplines. The book is designed to be accessible to those without extensive algorithm development backgrounds, providing theoretical and practical insights into optimization methods.
