Genetic algorithm (GA) is an effective method of solving combinatorial optimization problems. Generally speaking most of search algorithms require a large execution time in order to calculate some evaluation value. Crossover is very important in GA because discovering a good solution efficiently requires that the good characteristics of the parent individuals be recombined. The Multiple Crossover Per Couple (MCPC) is a method that permits a variable number of children for each mating pair, and MCPC generates a huge search space. Thus this method requires a huge amount of execution time to find a good solution. This paper proposes a novel approach to reduce time needed for fitness evaluation by prenatal diagnosis using fitness prediction. In the experiments based on actual problems, the proposed method found an optimum solution 50% faster than the conventional method did. The experimental results from standard test functions show that the proposed method using the Distributed Genetic Algorithm is applicable to other problems as well.
