GALO—Genetic Algorithm for Layout Optimization : a technical documentation for modellers and developers / Jonathan Lin, Wenbi Wang.: D68-2/139-2018E-PDF
"GALO (Genetic Algorithm for Layout Optimization) is a desktop application tool that uses a genetic algorithm to determine the optimal layout of a group of operators in a workplace. In GALO, a workplace is modelled as a rectangular grid that is comprised of many cells. Each cell is defined as an open workspace that can be assigned to an operator, a barrier that functions as a spatial obstruction, or an unassignable space that could not be designated as a workspace. An optimal layout is defined as the one that best supports inter-operator communication (or interaction). Communication requirements are modelled as weighted directional connections. For each workplace model, after inter-operator communication requirements are specified, GALO has the ability to generate the optimal layout configuration based on a genetic algorithm. This Reference Document provides an instruction guide for future users of the tool, and a technical documentation of the program for future software developers"--Abstract, page i.
