Bio-inspired Computing Approach to System Optimization

抄録

A bio-inspired computing method with fixed-length DNA to solve a system optimization is presented in this paper. The elevator dispatching problem is taken as an example, the fixed-length DNA strands are used in representing the nodes and costs, where the costs are varied by the melting temperature of DNA strands. The optimal solution to a 6-story 2-elevator dispatching problem is searched by biochemical techniques based on the thermodynamic properties of designed DNA strands. This research has shown that bio-inspired computing has the potential to solve the engineering applications.
