In this chapter we discussed the application of Towers of Hanoi in logistics management applications, for this purpose. Firstly, we discussed how pile problems applications impact in logistics, later we discussed the Hanoi Towers application in Logistics Management, its mathematical model and common solutions applying different paradigms (iterative, recursive, and heuristics), we present an in depth analysis in genetic algorithms, later we present the analysis of a genetic algorithm applied to solve basic Hanoi Tower game (three pegs three discs) implemented in C language, and later we discuss its generalization from three to four discs. Finally, we discussed preliminary results and present our conclusions. Main contribution of this chapter is demonstrate game theory, specifically Towers of Hanoi, can be applied to solve logistics problems, and an approach for the generalization of basic Hanoi Tower form, three discs to four discs, by means of genetic algorithms implemented in C language.

Abstract. Transmission planning is a complex optimization problem with multiple deciding variables and restrictions. The mathematical model is non-linear, discrete, multi-objective and dynamic. It becomes complicated as the system grows. So the algorithm adopted affects the results of planning directly. In this paper, a fast non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) is employed. The results indicate that NSGA-II has some advantages compared to the traditional genetic algorithms. In transmission planning, NSGA-II is feasible, flexible and effective.

This paper presents a new kind of scheduling solution for multiple design tasks in networked developing environments. The main contributions of this study can be focused on three points: The first is to distinguish the concepts and contents of the task scheduling in the networked developing environments. The second is to construct a game-theory mathematical model to deal with this new multiple design tasks scheduling problem. In the presented mathematical model, the players, strategies and payoff are given separately. Therefore, obtaining the optimal scheduling results is determined by the Nash equilibrium (NE) point of this game. In order to find the NE point, a genetic algorithm (GA)-based solution algorithm to solve this mathematical model is proposed. Finally, a numerical case study is presented to demonstrate the feasibility of the methods.

The work is devoted to the study of genetic algorithms on the example of the search for the best ways to support“Transit challenge” or “Subway Challenge” system. Based on the rules of “Transit challenge” and the tasks of thesalesman, the problem of stations was formulated - the search for the best way to visit all subway stations in the shortestpossible time. Based on the graph theory, a mathematical model of the metrophone system was developed. To solve thestation problem, a genetic algorithm has been developed: the method of genome representation, population mutationand genome crossing rules have been chosen. On the basis of the experimental study of the genetic algorithm the mosteffective parameters were selected and recommendations on the solution of the station problem for “Transit challenge”of different dimensions were developed.

The application of genetic algorithms in automatically generating test data has aroused broad concerns and obtained delightful achievements in recent years. However, the efficiency of genetic algorithm-based test data generation for path testing needs to be further improved. In this paper, we establish a mathematical model of generating test data for multiple paths coverage. Then, a multipopulation genetic algorithm with individual sharing is presented to solve the established model. We not only analyzed the performance of the proposed method theoretically, but also applied it to various programs under test. The experimental results show that the proposed method can improve the efficiency of generating test data for many paths’ coverage significantly.

In order to improve the efficiency of automated warehouse, the order-picking task of the fixed shelve was researched and analysed. The picking mathematical model of automated warehouse was established and attributed to the classical traveling salesman problem (TSP) model. At the same time, using an improved genetic algorithms(improved GAs) solved the optimization problem. Firstly, the initial population of the algorithm was optimized, and then a 'reverse evolution operator' was introduced in the improved genetic algorithms because of the lack of local optimization ability of genetic algorithm. Results of experiments verify that the method can acquire satisfying the demands of the route picking and optimization of speed.

This chapter considers a product-sequencing problem in a synchronized manufacturing environment, which is using a uniform time bucket approach for synchronization. This problem has been observed in a jewelry manufacturing company and is valid in other labor-intensive cellular environments. The scheduling problem handled has two aspects: first, determining manpower allocation; second, sequencing the products in order to minimize the number of periods where available manpower is exceeded. The number of operators needed in a time bucket may exceed the available manpower level as different products have different manpower requirements for different processes. A mathematical model is developed for the manpower allocation part of the problem. To perform product sequencing, two methods are used, namely mathematical modeling and genetic algorithm. A new five-phase GA approach is proposed, and the results show that it outperforms the classical GA. Several experiments have been conducted to find better GA parameters as well. Finally, GA results are compared with mathematical model results. Mathematical Modeling finds optimal result in a reasonable time for small problems. On the other hand, for the bigger problems, genetic algorithm is a feasible approach to use.

Abstract The possibility to obtain a desired color of the product and to ensure its repeatability in the production process is highly desired in many industries such as printing, automobile, dyeing, textile, cosmetics or plastics industry. So far, most companies have traditionally used the "manual" method, relying on intuition and experience of a colorist. However, the manual preparation of multiple samples and their correction can be very time consuming and expensive. The computer technology has allowed the development of software to support the process of matching colors. Nowadays, formulation of colors is done with appropriate equipment (colorimeters, spectrophotometers, computers) and dedicated software. Computer-aided formulation is much faster and cheaper than manual formulation, because fewer corrective iterations have to be carried out, to achieve the desired result. Moreover, the colors are analyzed with regard to the metamerism, and the best recipe can be chosen, according to the specific criteria (price, quantity, availability). Optimaization problem of color formulation can be solved in many diferent ways. Authors decided to apply genetic algorithms in this domain.
