5. Conclusion
In this chapter an application of genetic algorithms in telecommunications is described. Genetic algorithms are based by analogy with the processes in the reproduction of biological organisms. These algorithms could be classified as guided random search evolution algorithms that use probability to guide their search. A genetic algorithm application to a specific problem includes a number of steps and some of them are discussed in three different telecommunication system design problems. Two of them are related to a method for call and service process scheduling and call and service control in distributed environment, where a genetic algorithm is used to determine a response time. Genetic algorithm application in optimization is presented through the case study on availabilitycost optimization of an all-optical network.
