		   EXECUTABLE MODELS OF GENETIC ALGORITHMS

			    Tuesday March 23, 1993
		  Room 110, Stratton Hall, on the CSM campus
				   5:30 pm 


				  Abstract
	A set of executable equations are defined which provide an
	exact model of a simple genetic algorithm.  The equations
	assume an infinitely large population and require the
	enumeration of all points in the search space.The predictive
	behavior of the executable equations is examined in the
	context of deceptive functions.  In addition, these equations
	can be used to study the computational behavior of parallel
	genetic algorithms.

	Suggested background reading: A Genetic Algorithm Tutorial, 
	Darrell Whitley.
