Many thanks to everyone who decided to participate in the Breeding Objects Experiment 01. My initial hypothesis was that configurators with artificial selection in a GA implemented may prove to be a better tool to navigate through solution spaces with larger amount of dimensions. In other words, genetic algorithms are better tools to look for [...]


Breeding Objects Experiment 01 is my first experiment with configurators for mass customization of products over the Internet, conducted as part of PhD research at the Bartlett School of Graduate Studies. The experiment is a comparison of two types of configurators: “parametric” configurators and genetic algorithms configurators. In parametric configurators users have to specify the [...]
