Abstract
A genetic algorithm-based system for selecting a solution. Means are provided for evaluating solutions according to a preselected evaluation function. A first computer generates a first population of solutions, the first population of solutions being of a first representation scheme. A second computer generates a second population of solutions, the second population of solutions being of a second representation scheme. A translator translates solutions of the second representation scheme into equivalent solutions of the first representation scheme. Means are provided for introducing solutions from the second population into the first population of solutions.
