Foundations of Genetic Algorithms

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 9th Workshop on the Foundations of Genetic Algorithms, FOGA 2007, held in Mexico City, Mexico in January 2007.
The 11 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement from 22 submissions. The papers address all current topics in the field of theoretical evolutionary computation including evolution strategies, evolutionary programming, and genetic programming, and also depict the continuing growth in interactions with other fields such as mathematics, physics, and biology.
