Adaptation in Natural and Artificial Systems
Genetic algorithms are playing an increasingly important role in studies of complex adaptive systems, ranging from adaptive agents in economic theory to the use of machine learning techniques in the design of complex devices such as aircraft turbines and integrated circuits. Adaptation in Natural and Artificial Systems is the book that initiated this field of study, presenting the theoretical foundations and exploring applications. In its most familiar form, adaptation is a biological process, whereby organisms evolve by rearranging genetic material to survive in environments confronting them. In this now classic work, Holland presents a mathematical model that allows for the nonlinearity of such complex interactions. He demonstrates the model's universality by applying it to economics, physiological psychology, game theory, and artificial intelligence and then outlines the way in which this approach modifies the traditional views of mathematical genetics.

Genetics provides us with a canonical example of a complex search through a space of ill-defined possibilities. The basic problem is one of manipulating representations — the chromosomes — so as to search out and generate useful organization — the functional properties of the organism., Introduction 1 Preliminary survey 3 A simple artificial adaptive System 6 A complex natural adaptive System 9 Some general observations Discussion 20 2.
