Implementation issues for an interactive evolutionary computation system

The design and development of an Interactive Evolutionary Computation (IEC) system needs to take into account the implementation issues found when delivering the system to “Real World” users. This paper reports and reflects on the implementation issues found when rolling-out an IEC-based Programme Management system [1]. Although the system under discussion was for a specific application, it is felt that the issues and their resolution are generally applicable to a wide range of IEC systems. Categories and Subject Descriptors H.5.2 [Information Interfaces and Presentation]: User Interfaces – Ergonomics, Evaluation/ methodology, Graphical user interfaces (GUI), Screen design, User-centered design. General Terms Design, Reliability, Human Factors. Keywords Interactive, Evolutionary, Computation, GUI.
