OmeGA, or the ordering messy genetic algorithm, combines some of the latest in competent GA technology to solve scheduling and other permutation problems. Competent GAs are those designed for principled solutions of hard problems, quickly, reliably, and accurately. Permutation and scheduling problems are difficult combinatorial optimization problems with commercial import across a variety of industries. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book approaches both subjects systematically and clearly. The first part of the book presents the clearest description of messy GAs written to date along with an innovative adaptation of the method to ordering problems. The second part of the book investigates the algorithm on boundedly difficult test functions, showing principled scale up as problems become harder and longer. Finally, the book applies the algorithm to a test function drawn from the literature of scheduling. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9781461352495\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461352495\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-0807-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 152\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44341147697292,"sku":"9781461352495","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461352495_ab21f35c-555f-436e-b622-9b9b54739fe0.jpg?v=1755058753","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461352495","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
