The Genetic Algorithm a Directed search algorithms based on the mechanics of biological evolution a Developed by John Holland, University of Michigan(1970s) a To understand the adaptive processes of natural systems a To design artificial systems software that retains the robustness of natural systems a The genetic algorithms, first proposed by Holland (1975), seek to mimic some of the natural evolution and selection a The first step of Holland's genetic algorithm is to represent a legal solution of a problem by a string of genes known as a chromosomeThe Genetic Algorithm ❑ Directed search algorithms based on the mechanics of biological evolution ❑ Developed by John Holland, University of Michigan (1970’s) ❑ To understand the adaptive processes of natural systems ❑ To design artificial systems software that retains the robustness of natural systems ❑ The genetic algorithms, first proposed by Holland (1975), seek to mimic some of the natural evolution and selection. ❑ The first step of Holland’s genetic algorithm is to represent a legal solution of a problem by a string of genes known as a chromosome
