Applications of Genetic Algorithms

• Automated design, including research on composite material design and multi-objective design of automotive components for crashworthiness, weight savings, and other characteristics.

• Automated design of mechatronic systems using bond graphs and genetic programming (NSF).

• Calculation of Bound States and Local Density Approximations.

• Configuration applications, particularly physics applications of optimal molecule configurations for particular systems like C60 (buckyballs).

• Container loading optimization.

• Code-breaking, using the GA to search large solution spaces of ciphers for the one correct decryption.

• Design of water distribution systems.

• Distributed computer network topologies.

• Electronic circuit design, known as Evolvable hardware.

• File allocation for a distributed system.

• Parallelization of GA/GP including use of hierarchical decomposition of problem domains and design spaces nesting of irregular shapes using feature matching and GA.

• Game Theory Equilibrium Resolution.

• Learning Robot behavior using Genetic Algorithms.

• Learning fuzzy rule base using genetic algorithms.

• Mobile communications infrastructure optimization.

• Molecular Structure Optimization (Chemistry).

• Multiple population topologies and interchange methodologies.

• Protein folding and protein/ligand docking.

• Plant floor layout.

• Scheduling applications, including job-shop scheduling. The objective being to schedule jobs in a sequence dependent or non-sequence dependent setup environment in order to maximize the volume of production while minimizing penalties such as tardiness.

• Software engineering

• Solving the machine-component grouping problem required for cellular manufacturing systems.

• Tactical asset allocation and international equity strategies.

• Timetabling problems, such as designing a non-conflicting class timetable for a large university.

• Training artificial neural networks when pre-classified training examples are not readily obtainable (neuroevolution).

• Traveling Salesman Problem.
