Abstract

This paper describes an application oriented approach to the genetic-algorithm technique. The software is implemented in APL2 and exploits availability of user defined operators and separation of general purpose and problem specific code. The paper presents results of applying genetic algorithms to solve real life problems of simulation and predicting input order streams for a large consulting and service company. In an extended version of the paper, implementation of a GUI interface to genetic algorithm software in APL2 for OS/2 is described.
