遗传算法是将生物学的遗传进化原理和最优化技术结合的产物，它在国民经济的各个行业和多个学科里获得了广泛的应用和关注。本书着重从计算方法和应用技术的角度对遗传算法作了深入浅出的讨论。书中介绍了遗传算法的基本概念和结构，解决约束优化和组合优化问题的方法，以及遗传算法在生产调度、可靠性设计、交通运输、设备布局等一系列工业工程问题中的应用。-Genetic algorithm is to the principle of biological genetic evolution and optimization technology product, which in the national economy in all sectors and multiple disciplines to obtain a wide range of applications and concerns. The book focused on the calculation methods and applications from a technical point of view of genetic algorithms made easy discussion. The book introduces the basic concepts of genetic algorithms and structures to solve constrained optimization and combinatorial optimization problems, as well as genetic algorithms in production scheduling, reliability, design, transportation, equipment layout, such as the issue of a series of industrial engineering applications.
