Optimization of complex objective functions such as environmental models is a compute-intensive task, difficult to achieve by classical optimization techniques. Evolutionary techniques such as genetic algorithms present themselves as the best alternative to solving this problem. We present a friendly optimization framework for complex objective function on a computational grid platform, which allows easy incorporation of new optimization strategies. This framework was developed using the MW library and the Condor system. The framework architecture is described, and a case study of a forest-fire propagation simulator is then analyzed.
