Book Summary:
Evolutionary Algorithms for Embedded System Design describes how
Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) concepts can be applied to circuit and
system design - an area where time-to-market demands are critical.
EAs create an interesting alternative to other approaches since they
can be scaled with the problem size and can be easily run on parallel
computer systems. This book presents several successful EA techniques
and shows how they can be applied at different levels of the design
process. Starting on a high-level abstraction, where software components
are dominant, several optimization steps are demonstrated, including
DSP code optimization and test generation. Throughout the book, EAs are
tested on real-world applications and on large problem instances. For
each application the main criteria for the successful application in the
corresponding domain are discussed. In addition, contributions from
leading international researchers provide the reader with a variety of
perspectives, including a special focus on the combination of EAs with
problem specific heuristics.
Evolutionary Algorithms for Embedded System Design is an excellent
reference for practitioners working in the area of circuit and system
design and for researchers in the field of evolutionary concepts.

Rolf Drechsler received his diploma and Dr. phil. nat. degree in
computer science from the J.W. Goethe-University in Frankfurt am Main,
Germany, in 1992 and 1995, respectively. He was with the Institute of
Computer Science at the Albert-Ludwigs-University of Freiburg im
Breisgau, Germany from 1995 to 2000. He joint the Corporate Technology
Department of Siemens AG, Munich in 2000, where he worked as a Senior
Engineer in the formal verification group. Since October 2001 he is with
the University of Bremen, Germany, where he is now a full professor
for computer architecture. He published five books at Kluwer Academic
Publishers. His research interests include verification, logic synthesis,
and evolutionary algorithms.
Nicole Drechsler received her diploma in Computer Science from the J.W.
Goethe-University in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, in 1995. She worked as
a research assistant at the Institute of Computer Science at the
Albert-Ludwigs-University of Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany, from 1995
to 2000 and received Dr. rer. nat. degree in 2000. Since March 2002
she is employed at the University of Bremen, Germany, and her research
interests include evolutionary algorithms in VLSI design and
multi-objective optimization.
