This is one of the only books to provide a complete and coherent review of the theory of genetic programming (GP). In doing so, it provides a coherent consolidation of recent work on the theoretical foundations of GP. A concise introduction to GP and genetic algorithms (GA) is followed by a discussion of fitness landscapes and other theoretical approaches to natural and artificial evolution. Having surveyed early approaches to GP theory it presents new exact schema analysis, showing that it applies to GP as well as to the simpler GAs. New results on the potentially infinite number of possible programs are followed by two chapters applying these new techniques.

Poli, Riccardo was born on May 31, 1961 in Pistoia, Italy. Son of Mario Poli and Maria Buiani.
Degree in electronic engineering, University Florence, Italy, 1989. Doctor of Philosophy in biomedical Engineering, University Florence, Italy, 1993.
His work has centered on genetic programming. Poli started his academic career with a Laurea in electronic engineering from the University of Florence in 1989. He later became an expert in the field of evolutionary computation, working as a Lecturer and then a Reader at the University of Birmingham from 1994 until 2001, when he moved to Essex as a professor
Poli has published around 240 refereed papers and two books (Langdon and Poli, 2002.
Poli, Langdon, McPhee, 2008) on the theory and applications of genetic programming, evolutionary algorithms, particle swarm optimisation, biomedical engineering, brain-computer interfaces, neural networks, image analysis, signal processing, biology and psychology. He is a Fellow of the International Society for Genetic and Evolutionary Computation and a recipient of the EvoStar award for outstanding contributions to this field (2007).
He was an Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) SIGEVO executive board member until 2013. He was general chair (2004), track chair (2002, 2007), business committee member (2005), and competition chair (2006) of Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)’s Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference, co-chair of the Foundations of Genetic Algorithms Workshop (FOGA) (2002) and technical chair of the International Workshop on Ant Colony Optimisation and Swarm Intelligence (2006).
Poli is an associate editor of Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines, Evolutionary Computation and the International Journal of Computational Intelligence Research.
Poli co-wrote Foundations of Genetic Programming and A Field Guide to Genetic Programming. A book review in Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines noted that the latter book was unusual because it had been published under a Creative Commons license.

He is an advisory board member of the Journal on Artificial Evolution and Applications and an editorial board member of Swarm Intelligence. He is a member of the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council Peer Review College, an European Union expert evaluator and a grant-proposal referee for Irish, Swiss and Italian funding bodies.
Married Caterina Cinel, December 28, 2002. Children: Ludovico, Rachele.
