Implementing Type-Classes as OCaml Modules is the next topic discussing Type classes and how to use them to achieve overloading in functional paradigms. This is a code-intensive article that is put together by Shayne Fletcher.
Aurora Ramírez and Chris Simons take us through the article Evolutionary Computing Frameworks for Optimisation. It is an article about Evolutionary algorithms and how they can be used to find optimal solutions to problems in artificial intelligence. Here they use detailed illustrations and code snippets.
