E-books. Free Scientific Books | Sciyo.com. Evolutionary Computation. Edited by Wellington Pinheiro dos Santos, ISBN 978-953-307-008-7, 572 pages, Publisher: InTech, Chapters published October 01, 2009 under CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 licenseDOI: 10.5772/56653 This book presents several recent advances on Evolutionary Computation, specially evolution-based optimization methods and hybrid algorithms for several applications, from optimization and learning to pattern recognition and bioinformatics. This book also presents new algorithms based on several analogies and metafores, where one of them is based on philosophy, specifically on the philosophy of praxis and dialectics. In this book it is also presented interesting applications on bioinformatics, specially the use of particle swarms to discover gene expression patterns in DNA microarrays. Therefore, this book features representative work on the field of evolutionary computation and applied sciences.

What does the future hold for higher education? Is the university set to become like the panopticon, where academics are constantly surveyed and regulated in the name of efficiency?
Tony Murphy finds that A Manifesto for the Public University is a must for all those with vested interests in HE: students, researchers, and VCs, as well as policy makers actively engaged in shaping the future. A Manifesto for the Public University. John Holmwood. Bloomsbury Academic. As we begin to deal with the fall-out from Lord Browne’s Independent Review of Higher Education Funding and Student Finance, Professor John Holmwood presents a collection of essays written by members of the Campaign for the Public University.
The authors highlight the folly of reducing the purposes of HE to solely instrumental functions. In his chapter, Michael Burawoy considers the possible roles of the public university, and argues that universities have become subject the twin pressures of commodification and regulation.
