How to do this at home, Phase 1

• Start with a function optimization problem if possible

• Use an off-the-shelf system if possible

• Use real-valued representation if possible

• Pick the domain carefully

• Describe the algorithm to others carefully

  • Creative rather than random
  • Innovative rather than nondeterministic

• Expect to spend time on the evaluation function
