Abstract

This document describes the GAucsd system for function optimization developed by Nici Schraudolph at UCSD on the basis of Genesis 4.5, a genetic algorithm package written by John J. Grefenstette. Genetic algorithms appear to hold a lot of promise as general purpose adaptive search procedures. However, the authors disclaim any warranties of fitness for a particular problem. The purpose of making this system available is to encourage the experimental use of genetic algorithms on realistic optimization problems, and thereby to identify the their strengths and weaknesses.
