This paper introduces a genetic algorithm (GA) to minimize the waste produced during the cutting process of rectangular figures on a sheet. The chromosomes for solution codification use an object-based representation. It has the following operator: Partially Mapped Crossover (PMX), mutation based in double interchange (2-opt), and the elitism strategy for the selection process. The proposed algorithm was applied in a real case situation problem, where the numbers of items were 55 pieces. The result of this implementation was a reduction of the waste as a result of the decrease in the number of sheets used in the cutting process and at the same time an effective employment of the used area.

Outfitting is a critical stage in the shipbuilding process. Within the outfitting, the construction of pipe systems is a phase that has a significant effect on time and cost. While cutting the pipes required for the pipe systems in shipyards, the cutting process is usually performed randomly. This can result in large amounts of trim losses. In this paper, we present an approach to minimize these losses. With the proposed method it is aimed to base the pipe cutting process on a specific systematic. To solve this problem, Genetic Algorithms (GA), which gives successful results in solving many problems in the literature, have been used. Different types of genetic operators have been used to investigate the search space of the problem well. The results obtained have proven the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

In order to investigate the benefits of compound waterways more fully, this study reveals vessel navigational mode and traffic conflicts in a compound waterway through a case analysis, following which a type of simplified prototype of a compound waterway is proposed and three key conflict areas are specified. Based on the three key sub-models of slot allocation for vessels in a waterway entrance, traffic flow conversion of a main and auxiliary waterway in a precautionary area, and traffic flow coordination of division and confluence in a Y crossing area, a vessel traffic scheduling optimisation model is presented, with the minimum waterway occupancy time and minimum total waiting time of vessels as the objective. Furthermore, a multi-objective genetic algorithm is proposed to solve the model and a simulation experiment is carried out. By analysing the optimised solution and comparing it with other scheduling schemes in common use, the results indicate that this method can effectively improve navigation safety and efficiency in a compound waterway.

Recruitment process takes place based on needed data while certain limiting factors are ignored. The objective of the chapter is to recruit best employees while taking care of limiting factors from the cluster for resource management and scheduling. Various parameters of the recruits have been selected to find the maximum score achieved by them. Recruitment process makes a database as cluster in the software environment perform the information retrieval on the database and then perform data mining using genetic algorithm while taking care of the positive values in contrast to limiting values received from the database. A bigger level recruitment process finds required values of a person, so negative points are ignored earlier in the recruitment process because there is no direct way to compare them. Genetic algorithm will create output in the form of chromosomal form. Again, apply information retrieval to get actual output. Major application of this process is that it will improve the selection process of candidates to a higher level of perfection in less time.

Video synopsis provides representation of the long surveillance video, while preserving the essential activities of the original video. The activity in the original video is covered into a shorter period by simultaneously displaying multiple activities, which originally occurred at different time segments. As activities are to be displayed in different time segments than original video, the process begins with extracting moving objects. Temporal median algorithm is used to model background and foreground objects are detected using background subtraction method. Each moving object is represented as a space-time activity tube in the video. The concept of genetic algorithm is used for optimized temporal shifting of activity tubes. The temporal arrangement of tubes which results in minimum collision and maintains chronological order of events is considered as the best solution. The time-lapse background video is generated next, which is used as background for the synopsis video. Finally, the activity tubes are stitched on the time-lapse background video using Poisson image editing.

Knapsack problems is a problem that often we encounter in everyday life. Knapsack problem itself is a problem where a person faced with the problems of optimization on the selection of objects that can be inserted into the container which has limited space or capacity. Problems knapsack problem can be solved by various optimization algorithms, one of which uses a genetic algorithm. Genetic algorithms in solving problems mimicking the theory of evolution of living creatures. The components of the genetic algorithm is composed of a population consisting of a collection of individuals who are candidates for the solution of problems knapsack. The process of evolution goes dimulasi of the selection process, crossovers and mutations in each individual in order to obtain a new population. The evolutionary process will be repeated until it meets the criteria o f an optimum of the resulting solution. The problems highlighted in this research is how to resolve the problem by applying a genetic algorithm knapsack. The results obtained by the testing of the system is built, that the knapsack problem can optimize the placement of goods in containers or capacity available. Optimizing the knapsack problem can be maximized with the appropriate input parameters.

Computational intelligence provides the biomedical domain by a significant support. The application of machine learning techniques in medical applications have been evolved from the physician needs. Screening, medical images, pattern classification, prognosis are some examples of health care support systems. Typically medical data has its own characteristics such as huge size and features, continuous and real attributes that refer to patients' investigations. Therefore, discretization and feature selection process are considered a key issue in improving the extracted knowledge from patients' investigations records. In this paper, a hybrid system that integrates Rough Set (RS) and Genetic Algorithm (GA) is presented for the efficient classification of medical data sets of different sizes and dimensionalities. Genetic Algorithm is applied with the aim of reducing the dimension of medical datasets and RS decision rules were used for efficient classification. Furthermore, the proposed system applies the Entropy Gain Information (EI) for discretization process. Four biomedical data sets are tested by the proposed system (EI-GA-RS), and the highest score was obtained through three different datasets. Other different hybrid techniques shared the proposed technique the highest accuracy but the proposed system preserves its place as one of the highest results systems four three different sets. EI as discretization technique also is a common part for the best results in the mentioned datasets while RS as an evaluator realized the best results in three different data sets.
