Abstract

JGA, the acronym for Java Genetic Algorithm, is a computational object-oriented framework for rapid development of evolutionary algorithms for solving complex optimization problems. This chapter describes the JGA framework and illustrates its use on the dynamic inventory lot-sizing problem. Using this problem as benchmark, JGA is compared against three other tools, namely, GAlib, an open C++ implementation; GADS, a commercial MatlabĂ’ toolbox; and PROC GA, a commercial (yet experimental) SASĂ’ procedure. JGA has proved to be a flexible and extensible object-oriented framework for the fast development of single (and multi-objective) genetic algorithms by providing a collection of ready-to-use modules (Java classes) that comprise the nucleus of any genetic algorithm. Furthermore, JGA has also been designed to be embedded in larger applications that solve complex business problems.
