Abstract:
1. A computer readable medium having computer executable instructions for performing a method comprising: generating a first set of parameters associated with a non-selected objective and a second set of parameters associated with a selected objective, the first and second set of parameters being based on a value set; generating costs for the value set at a first cost range based on the first set of parameters if the first set of parameters do not meet constraints associated with the non-selected objective; generating costs for the value set at a second cost range based on the second set of parameters if the first set of parameters do meet constraints associated with the non-selected objective, the first cost range being substantially higher than the second cost range; and repeating generating costs, storing value sets, and value set variations and executing a genetic algorithm, until a desirable value set variation is determined to have an acceptable cost within the second cost range based on the selected objective.
