The genetic algorithm is one of the most important intelligent method in the evolutionary algorithm and it has been applied in science and engineering field widely. In order to use the genetic algorithm easily and flexibly, this paper provides a simulation platform for the genetic algorithm by using the OOP language and the platform is called SPGAO. The architecture of SPGAO is presented and each module is implemented in detail. The data structure and functions for manipulating the genetic algorithm are defined in this platform and the chromosome data type, crossover, mutation, selection opera...
