A genetic algorithm is a heuristic approach to solving complex
computational problems. This includes various optimizations, especiallyaround scheduling and design. For example, NASA designed a radio antennafor their spacecraft using a genetic algorithm. Its shape is quitecomplicated, like nothing that could be designed by hand. So how dogenetic algorithms work their way to the solution? Well, they areinspired by the natural selection process in living creatures (!)
