Description
The study of artificial life has come a long way since the term was coined in 1986 by computer scientist Christopher Langton.
<em>Emerging Developments in Autonomous Systems Technologies: Artificial Life Innovations</em> offers a collection of the latest research within the field. The book has collected chapter contributions from authors from around the world on a wide variety of topics within artificial life, offering case studies, research, developments, theories, and future research suggestions. Staying abreast of the latest research within the field is nearly impossible, which makes a research collection such as this a vital compendium for practitioners and academics alike.

Person
<strong>E. Stanley Lee</strong> is Professor and Director of Graduate Program in the Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering at Kansas State University. He has various research grants from multiple agencies, such as National Science Foundation, Office of Water Resources Research, National Air Pollution Control Administration, US Army Research Office, US Department of Agriculture and Air Force Logistics Command.
Dr. Lee has published over ten books and over 300 refereed papers. He serves as an editor, an associate editor, or on the editorial board of over twenty technical journals. Dr. Lee's contributions to operations research and applied mathematics cover many different areas. During the 1970's, he did pioneering research work in optimisation theory and systems analysis with Dr. Richard Bellman and Dr. Lotfi Zadeh. He has also applied operations research techniques to solve various engineering and social problems in areas, such as coal conversion, water resource management, energy and environmental systems. Recently, Dr. Lee's interests have concentrated on the development of intelligent and soft computing techniques, such as support vector machines, evidence theory, fuzzy set theory, probabilistic approaches, neural networks and the application of these techniques to engineering and social problems.
