Every so often someone posts a request for information on Genetic
Algorithms.  Over the past couple years I have collected the following
list of references which contain good introductory material on GA's.

If anyone has any addition references or sources of public domain GA's,
please let me know.

14)  Finally, there is the Clearinghouse for Genetic Algorithms
     at the University of Alabama (Dept. of Engineering Mechanics).
     They have a number of technical reports including a historical 
     bibliography (TCGA report no. 86001).  The address is:

In addition, there are a number of public domain genetic algorithm
systems available. One is the CFS-C subroutine package available from
Rick Riolo (Rick_Riolo@um.cc.umich.edu).  Another is the Genesis
system available from John Grefenstette (gref@aic.nrl.navy.mil).
A system called Whales and Plankton has been posted to comp.sources.misc
and is available via anonymous ftp from xanth.cs.odu.edu [128.82.8.1]
in the directory "usenet/comp.sources.misc/volume7/whpl" (in 13 parts).

There is also a genetic algorithms mailing list.  To subscribe,
