Integrated environmental management process applying genetic algorithm
Article Abstract:
A Total Environmental Management System using genetic algorithm (TEMS-GA) that considers potential effects on the environment along with other management concerns is proposed. Under such system, an AND-OR tree structure and a list of symbolic expressions are used to model a problem in its structural and quantitative aspects, respectively. Experimental results demonstrate that the system is an effective tool in using genetic algorithm (GA) to search for a better solution, with GA able to determine sub-optimal combinations of activities for a multiple-faceted problem.

The role of governments in a market economy: future strategies for the high-tech industry in America
Article Abstract:
The US government's effort towards enhancing its technological capabilities plays a vital role in advancing its high-technology industry. Improvement in technological capabilities can be made through lessening of equity costs and enhancement of investment related to education and research and development. Easing of US antitrust policies and removal of trade barriers are also needed to achieve a productive high-technology industry.
