Author: Lawrence "David" Davis
President, Tica Associates
Lawrence "David" Davis is the President of Tica
Associates, a consulting company that he founded in 1990. Tica
was the first company to specialize in solving real-world problems
with genetic algorithms. Dr. Davis began working with genetic
algorithms at Texas Instruments in the early 1980s. He wrote/edited
the Handbook of Genetic Algorithms and edited Genetic Algorithms
and Simulated Annealing. Dr. Davis helped found the Society for
Genetic Algorithms and the journals Evolutionary Computation
and Heuristics. He has published more than forty papers, most
of them on genetic algorithms and their applications.
