Abstract
Genetic algorithms (GAs) are a class of programs that emulate the search processes of natural genetic evolution. This article reviews GA technology. The review begins by recasting search as a process of sampling points from an unknown space. With this “black-box” view of search, the simple mechanics of the GA are shown to have powerful effects. A review of basic GA mechanics and theory is followed by an overview of more advanced GA techniques. Final comments address future directions for GAs and for general evolving systems research.
