Identification Of Patterns In Genetic-Algorithm-Based Solutions For Optimization Of Process-Planning Problems Using A Data Mining Tool, Dowluru Sreeramulu

International Journal of Applied Management and Technology

This paper presents a novel use of data mining algorithms for extraction of knowledge from a set of process plans. The purpose of this paper is to apply data mining methodologies to explore the patterns in data generated by genetic-algorithm-generating process plans and to develop a rule set planner, which helps to make decisions in odd circumstances. Genetic algorithms are random-search algorithms based on the mechanics of genetics and natural selection. Because of genetic inheritance, the characteristics of the survivors after several generations should be similar. The solutions of a genetic algorithms for process planning consists of the operation sequence …
