What is Network Design Techniques Using Adapted Genetic Algorithms about?

In recent years we have evidenced an extensive effort in the development of computer communication networks, which have deeply integrated in human being's everyday life. One of important aspects of the network design process is the topological design problem involved in establishing a communication network. However, with the increase of the problem scale, the conventional techniques are facing the challenge to effectively and ef®ciently solve those complicated network design problems. In this article, we summarized recent research works on network design problems by using genetic algorithms (GAs), including multistage process planning (MPP) problem, ®xed charge transportation problem (fc-TP), minimum spanning tree problem, centralized network design, local area network (LAN) design and shortest path problem. All these problems are illustrated from the point of genetic representation encoding skill and the genetic operators with hybrid strategies. Large quantities of numerical experiments show the effectiveness and ef®ciency of such kind of GA-based approach.
