Genetic Algorithms - History and People

John Holland and John Koza

John Henry Holland:  John Holland is the father of genetic algorithms.  An example of his work Echo is on this site's Examples and Simulations page. Biography Publications Holland's schema theorem John Koza is a leading practitioner in the field of genetic algorithms and is actively involved in developing a variety of applications in numerous fields.  He was also a professor of computer science at Stanford University. Home page at genetic-programming.com John Koza has built an "invention machine."  Stanford University adjunct professor John Koza's "invention machine"  is a network of 1,000 PCs that creates innovative new designs without  human guidance through genetic programming based on Darwinian  evolution. The process induces bits of computer code to sire  successively superior offspring until the final generation is so  supremely well-adapted for its assigned function that it outclasses any  product of human conception..... Koza believes that genetic programming will become pervasive in the next 10 years, providing an efficient method for solving difficult engineering problems.  The main page for the invention machine is here.
