Niektóre osobliwości algorytmów genetycznych na przykładzie zagadnień logistycznych

The aim of the following article is to systematize the concepts connected with modern genetic algorithms together with presenting examples of their applications in logistic issues. Using appropriate tools for solving logistic problems is a basic condition of development and/or endurance on the market with an intensive competition. According to the author, modern genetic algorithms are effective optimizing, ransacking and teaching tools which may have a broader use in logistics. This paper also discusses the matter of genetic algorithm's parameters as a factor determining the effectiveness of their application in logistic issues. The weak and strong points of genetic algorithms in the context of their practical usage has also been pointed out. Presented article is based on literature studies concerning modern concepts of genetic algorithms and their applications.
