This contributed volume was developed from the third workshop at the University of Michigan s Center for the Study of Complex Systems to facilitate the exchange of ideas and information related to this rapidly advancing field. The text provides a cohesive view of the issues facing both practitioners and theoreticians and examines the synergy between GP theory and application. The foremost international researchers and practitioners in the GP arena contributed to the volume, discussing such topics as: techniques to enhance GP capabilities with real-world applications and real-world application success stories from a variety of domains, including chemical and process control, informatics, and circuit design visualization models to understand GP processing and open challenges facing the community and potential research directions Genetic Programming Theory and Practice III provides the most recent developments in GP theory, practice, and the integration of theory and practice. This text, the result of an extensive dialog between GP theoreticians and practitioners, is a unique and indispensable tool for both academics and industry professionals interested in the GP realm. "Publisher Marketing: Exploring the emerging interaction between theory and practice in the cutting-edge, machine learning method of Genetic Programming, this volume details information, from a group of GP theorists and practitioners, on how GP theory informs practice and how GP practice impacts GP theory.
