Intelligent Systems Laboratory Doshisha University,Kyoto,Japan Distributed Environment GA Conventional Environment GA Distributed Environment GA (DEGA) Different GA parameters are used. Same parameters are used. Crossover Rate Mutation Rate Experiment Problem : Same as MPGA 9 Different environments (3 mutation rates ×3 crossover rates) for evaluation

Intelligent Systems Laboratory Doshisha University,Kyoto,Japan CrossoverRateMutationRate Pop.size = 270 Worst = 1.38 Avg.1.58 Best = 1.74 Best = 1.78 Avg. 1.70 Worst = 1.58 Effect of DEGA 1.75 Results 1. DEGA outperforms the best SPGA. 2.DEGA provides good performance even comparing to MPGA
20
Intelligent Systems Laboratory Doshisha University,Kyoto,Japan Conclusion (1) The multiple population GA yields better solutions than single population GA because the diversity of individuals are maintained in the multiple population GA during the evolutional process. (2) The distributed environment scheme in the multiple population GA shows a good performance compared to other conventional GA. This scheme does not need to predetermine the GA parameters,and it is very useful for many problems where the proper values of those parameters are not known.
