Simple and efficient solutions are proposed for the path planning problem based on genetic algorithms. One of the attractive features of genetic algorithms is their ability to solve formidable problems in a robust and straightforward manner. Moreover, genetic algorithms are inherently parallel in nature, which makes them ideal candidates for parallel computing implementations.By combining the robustness of genetic algorithms with the power of parallel computers, this book provides an effective and practical approach to solving path planning problems. The book gives details of implementations that allow a better understanding of the complexities involved in the development of parallel path planning algorithms. The material presented is interdisciplinary in nature -- it combines topics from robotics, genetic algorithms, and parallel processing. The book can be used by practitioners and researchers in computer science and engineering.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49508376609041,"sku":"GOR007468149","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49723963932945,"sku":"CIN0956151035G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49780349567249,"sku":"CIN0956151035VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50467524280593,"sku":"GOR010659203","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50779940290833,"sku":"GOR011456701","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51009626702097,"sku":"NIN9780956151032","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":51830072082705,"sku":"CIN0956151035A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53447978123537,"sku":"GOR011568943","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0956151035.jpg?v=1750981500"},{"product_id":"silent-as-the-dead-book-scott-hunter-9781986509558","title":"Silent as the Dead","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49551197307153,"sku":"GOR009925330","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49980345483537,"sku":"CIN1986509559G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50117135565073,"sku":"CIN1986509559VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50994795086097,"sku":"NIN9781986509558","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51146895786257,"sku":"GOR012842563","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1986509559.jpg?v=1750805206"},{"product_id":"gone-too-soon-dci-brendan-moran-book-scott-hunter-9781686279713","title":"Gone Too Soon DCI Brendan Moran","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49616017686801,"sku":"GOR010471787","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51544945623313,"sku":"CIN168627971XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":53110771319057,"sku":"CIN168627971XA","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/168627971X.jpg?v=1750929195"},{"product_id":"practical-preppers-complete-guide-to-disaster-preparedness-book-scott-hunter-9781250055644","title":"The Practical Preppers Complete Guide to Disaster Preparedness","description":"The world we live in is an unstable one.

But one of the victims was already dead before the crash—and the lorry involved raises more questions than answers.   As Moran digs deeper, connections surface: a stolen van, a missing driver, and a string of similar deaths from Scotland to the South Coast. Then comes a troubling lead—the name of an undercover agent who vanished without a trace. Samantha Grant isn't just a missing colleague. She's part of Moran's past.   When traces of Semtex are found in the wreckage, the investigation stretches to Rotterdam and a smuggling network that crosses borders and buries secrets.

A killer who’s waited decades to strike.   DCI Brendan Moran shouldn’t be back on duty. The Irish detective is barely holding it together after a crash that nearly killed him—when a body is discovered in the chapel at Charnford Abbey.   The monks won’t talk. A centuries-old relic has vanished. And when another man turns up dead, it’s clear someone will kill to keep the past hidden.   But Moran has problems of his own. A new sergeant who might be a spy. A brother spiraling into alcoholism under his roof. Narcoleptic blackouts that could end his career—or his life. And a troubled past that won’t stay buried, forged in the shadows of 1970s Ireland.   As winter closes in and the abbey’s past comes violently to light, Moran must reckon with the cost of truth—and how much he’s willing to lose to uncover it.   Because this case might do what the crash couldn’t—finish him.   Black December is the gripping first entry in The Irish Detective: DCI Brendan Moran series—perfect for fans of atmospheric British detective fiction, flawed heroes, and crime stories that cut deep.   ___________________________________________   Praise for The Irish Detective: DCI Brendan Moran series:   ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ So many twists and turns that I could hardly put it down.   ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Gripped by the grizzled Irish detective.   ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Well-written, tight plotting and pacing, snappy dialogue, well-developed, likeable characters, and a cracking good mystery.   ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great British Mystery!   ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ He’s honest and upstanding… He has a line he won't cross, even though he comes close from time to time.   ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Vivid descriptions and clever plotting.
