Abstract

LibGA, HYPERGEN and GATutor represent a trio of in-house developed genetic algorithm software packages for conducting research in combinatorial optimization problems. For a variety of reasons, these packages were developed using the C programming language on a Unix platform, specifically a Sun workstation. We used these packages successfully in developing sequential and parallel genetic algorithms for solving numerous combinatorial optimization problems. Several of these combinatorial optimization research projects and their results are described.
