| Abstract | This paper outlines what the author perceives as crucial ingredients of a successful application of Genetic Algorithms (GAs) to real-world combinatorial problems. First, the importance of the Schema Theorem is stressed, pointing to crossover as the most potent force in a GA. Second, the importance of an encoding and operators adapted to the problem being solved is demonstrated, with two implications: the importance of the binary alphabet has been largely overstated in the past (in many problems it is not only unwarranted, it is detrimental), and practical GAS must be built to solve problems (i.e., sets of instances) rather than (arbitrary) functions. |
