Abstract

We present a genetic algorithm software project that serves to give students direct experience with choosing among multiple potentially applicable design patterns. We carefully constructed this project to illustrate the power of design patterns in supporting encapsulation while at the same time providing a single context in which to compare and contrast similar design pattern alternatives.
