User Friendly Web Page to Solve the Optimization Problems

Abstract

The project aims to use the user-friendly web page to help people to solve the optimization problem. Evolutionary algorithm is a set of algorithm which help to solve the optimized problem. It imitates the process of evolution of animals - reproduction, combination, selection, mutation and it provides a fast way to obtain the result that close to the optimized point. However, some programmer may not want to study the evolutionary algorithm and code themselves. So, my project would like build an API endpoint for them to access the algorithms. I have prepared the default parameter of the evolutionary algorithm to the user so that users just need to return the result of the function with the parameter the API indicated and the program would return the next generation, the next parameters set they can try to optimized the result. User don't need to know how the evolutionary algorithm run and care about how to tune the parameters of the algorithm. Also, I have built a web page for user to indicate their problem. The web page receives the necessary information (i.e. the number and the range of the parameters) and provide the live graph representation of the result of the evolutionary algorithm. When another user asks the same problem, the server would start the program with the record store last time and provide a more accurate result to the user. I have also provided a user-friendly application for user to import the program which help client communicate with server into their program.
