(About the author)
 
     To run, java Simulation...This is a simple genetic algorithm, designed to introduce people to the concept. The idea of a genetic algorithm is that you have "Chromosomes" and each represents a solution to your search space. You find the fitness Chromosomes out of your population and make offspring with them, thereby making (hopefully) fitter Chromosome. Once you find a Chromosome that is fit enough, you have a solution. What my program does, is take a simple problem and applies a genetic algorithm to that problem. The problem is: find a string of bits (1's and 0's) that contains the maximum number of 1's for a given length. It's a trivial problem but it helps to learn about genetic algorithms. Hope this is useful to you.

Note: Due to the size or complexity of this submission, the author has submitted it as a .zip file to shorten your download time. Afterdownloading it, you will need a program like Winzip to decompress it.Virus note:All files are scanned once-a-day by Planet Source Code for viruses, but new viruses come out every day, so no prevention program can catch 100% of them. For your own safety, please:
  1. Re-scan downloaded files using your personal virus checker before using it.
  2. NEVER, EVER run compiled files (.exe's, .ocx's, .dll's etc.)--only run source code.

If you don't have a virus scanner, you can get one at many places on the net including:McAfee.com
