Abstract :
A new evolutionary computation algorithm based on sheep flocks heredity is proposed. The algorithm simulates heredity of sheep flocks in a prairie. The algorithm is developed for solving a large scale scheduling problem for a period of several successive years. It is found that the proposed algorithm referred to as the multistage genetic operation can find better solutions than those of the simple genetic algorithm through thermal generator maintenance scheduling examples
