To get the source node and the evacuee amount on which, the method to model the initial population distribution is studied.
By using this method, the speed of caculation is obviously faster than that of using the random caculation directly to e- volve the initial population.
To solve such a complicated problem efficiently and effectively, we adopt the hybrid genetic algorithm approach, which generates initial population with the insertion and savings algorithms for WPSP and provide a new crossover operator to generate better solutions.
DEGA searches all over the solution space as far as possible by lowering the affinities among the individuals of the initial population.
Remarkably, thanks to scanners that can each read 50,000 handwritten forms a day, initial population figures are supposed to be published within a month of census day.
