Genie:

Genie is a GA-based modeling/forecasting system that is used for long-term planning. One can construct a model of an ENVIRONMENT and then view the forecasts of how that environment will evolve into the future. It is then possible to alter the future picture of the environment so as to construct a picture of a desired future (I will not enter into arguments of who is or should be responsible for designing a desired or better future). The GA is then employed to suggest changes to the existing environment so as to cause the desired future to come about.

Genie is available free of charge via e-mail or on 3.5'' disk from: Lance Chambers, Department of Transport, 136 Stirling Hwy, Nedlands, West Australia 6007. Net: <pstamp@yarrow.wt.uwa.edu.au> It is also available by FTP from ftp://hiplab.newcastle.edu.au/pub/Genie&Code.sea.Hqx
