This study first introduces an order-free chromosome encoding to enhance
the performance of genetic algorithms by learning the linkage of building
blocks in non-binary encodings. The method introduces a measure called
affinity which is based on the statistical properties of gene valuations
in the population. It uses the affinity values of the local and global
gene pairs to construct a global permutation with tight building block
positioning. Method is tested and experimental results are shown for a
group of deceptive and real life test problems.
Then, study proposes a gene level concurrency model where each gene
position is implemented on a different process. This combines the
advantages of implicit parallelism and a chromosome structure free
approach. It also helps implementation of gene reordering method
introduced and probably other non-linear chromosome encodings.
