Ward Systems Group has released GeneHunter, a genetic algorithm tool for spreadsheet users.
Genetic algorithms begin with several potential solutions to a problem.
The algorithm selects two parent solutions and then takes parts of each parent to create an entirely new solution. This new solution is tested to see how well it solves the specific problem. The evolutionary process continues until an optimal solution is found. GeneHunter works as an Excel add-in for nonprogrammers. Inc. All rights reserved.
