Further Information

Genetic Algorithm (GA) which is a part of soft computing is attracting attention as an approximation method to combinatorial optimization problems. The floorplan design problem (FDP) belongs to the category of these kinds of problems; it is difficult to find a true optimal solution in real time. A floorplan design problem is classified into the slicing structure and the non-slicing structure, from the arrangement structure. Recently, we proposed the new immune algorithm for the floorplan design with slicing structure, which was an application of GA. In this paper, we propose an improved genetic algorithm (pIGA) combining the advantage of our proposed immune algorithm to the floorplan design with non-slicing structure. pIGA is improved aiming at the further improvement in the convergence speed and the accuracy of a solution. Moreover, we apply pIGA to the MCNC benchmark problem. The experimental results show that the proposed pIGA has better performance than the existing methods.
