There is rapidly increasing interest in applying evolutionary computation to problems in medicine, but to date no text that introduces evolutionary computation in a medical context. By explaining the basic introductory theory, typical application areas and detailed implementation in one coherent volume, this book will appeal to a wide audience from software developers to medical scientists.  \u003cp\u003eCentred around a set of nine case studies on the application of GEC to different areas of medicine, the book offers an overview of applications of GEC to medicine, describes applications in which GEC is used to analyse medical images and data sets, derive advanced models, and suggest diagnoses and treatments, finally providing hints about possible future advancements of genetic and evolutionary computation in medicine.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplores the rapidly growing area of genetic and evolutionary computation in context of its viable and exciting payoffs in the field of medical applications.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplains the underlying theory, typical applications and detailed implementation.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes general sections about the applications of GEC to medicine and their expected future developments, as well as specific sections on applications of GEC to medical imaging, analysis of medical data sets, advanced modelling, diagnosis and treatment.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFeatures a wide range of tables, illustrations diagrams and photographs.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStephen Smith, Department of Electronics, University of York, UK\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStephen Smith is a senior lecturer within the Department of Electronics at the University of York.
