Abstract:

. The space layout planning problem belongs to the class of NP-hard problems with a wide range of practical applications. Many algorithms have been developed in the past, however recently evolutionary techniques have emerged as an alternative approach to their solution. In this paper, a genetic programming approach, one variation of evolutionary computation, is discussed. A representation of the space layout planning problem suitable for genetic programming is presented along with some implementation details and results. 1. Introduction Algorithmic solutions of spatial allocation problems were first developed more than thirty years ago. In this paper we discuss space layout planning formulated as a quadratic assignment problem. This is a difficult combinatorial optimisation problem of great importance, reaching beyond formal architectural design. Lately, such spatial allocation problems have again attracted attention, yielding solutions which employed genetic algorithms (Jo and Gero...
