Reseña del libro "computational approaches for aerospace design: the pursuit of excellence"
growing interest in new optimisation techniques, such as evolutionary computation; new journals in this field have started in the past two years. mit press: evolutionary computation ; kluwer: genetic programming and evolvable machines; elsevier applied soft computing , - an international on-line journal, the official journal of the world federation on soft computing (wfsc); wiley: under consideration, first journal in evolutionary computation applied to industrial engineering includes new approaches in numerical engineering based on evolutionary computation, a growing field with new journals being launched and books being published, first in mathematics and operations research, now in applications to engineering design in aeronautics and related area (car manufacturing, engine design, complex systems in general) multidisciplinary optimisation design (mdo) is a new subject area in which courses are beginning to be offered at universities. this book will be based on an epsrc (uk - engineering and physical science research council) two year research project. growing number of conferences, society activities and growing number of congress participants in this area (forthcoming conferences listed below). adaptive computing in design and manufacture, (acdm 2002) april 16th - 18th, 2002 at the university of exeter, devon, uk evonet, a eu funded network of excellence in evolutionary computation, linked to different conferences converging into single, bigger conferences in europe gecco conferences (us-orientated, sponsored by two us journals published by mit and kluwer), genetic and evolutionary computation conference together with the new titles in evolutionary computation (périaux et al. / wiley, publications scheduled, fogarty / not yet contracted), this title will bring wiley at the forefront of publishing in engineering optmization techniques, up to today an area in mathematics and opertations research (management) covered by competing publishing houses springer and kluwer.
