Welcome to Beifang's GA Website.

As of the facts that GA has been and will be growing at a speeding speed and that I has less and less time (because I will be growing older and older), this web-page will be under construction forever!

Anyway, I have to say something about GA.

First, GA stands for Genetic Algorithms. But some smart guys in academic circles --- one of them is our instructor, Dr. Louis --- often call it Evolutionary Computation (I have the hint that those GA guys will throw the old name away pretty soon). I prefer the old title (I always stick to the traditional form while changing the contents), although the new one gives a fancy imagination when you ponounce the two words (in fact, I have much, much more difficulty in pronouncing the old name ---- I always do things I dislike).

Second, I learned basic GA concept through 3 home works:

home work 0: code1, code2, code3, code4.

home work 1: code1, code2.

home work 3: code1, code2.

Then, I read some papers on GA application in robotics and I did a presentation. (Because of the limit disk quota in my CS account, I have not uploaded the movie in this ppt file. If you have interest, send me an email.)

And, I hope I can get some experience through my GA course project before stepping on my future project --- GA on Virtual Hand.

So, now, please go to my GA Course Project: JSSP.
