Handling a Multi-Tasking Environment via the Dynamic Search Genetic Algorithm

A new genetic algorithm for the solution of a multi-tasking problem is presented in this paper. The approach introduces innovative genetic operation that guides the genetic algorithm more directly towards better quality of the population. A wide variety of standard genetic parameters are explored, and results allow the comparison of performance for cases both with and without the new operator. The proposed algorithm improves the convergence speed by reducing the number of generations required to identify a near-optimal solution, significantly reducing the convergence time in each instance.
