ABSTRACT
Science and technology in present day human civilization are moving at a rapid pace. The world of challenges and the vision to move forward are immense and far-reaching. The futuristic vision of applied mathematics and chemical process engineering today are surpassing visionary scientific frontiers. Genetic algorithm (GA) is a branch of applied mathematics that needs to be reenvisioned and restructured in today’s research pursuit in science and technology. Petroleum engineering science and chemical engineering are the two branches of scientific endeavor where there are massive applications of GA. GAs are also used in areas of multi-objective optimization which involves modeling, simulation, and optimization. In this treatise, the author rigorously points out toward the futuristic vision in the application of GA in different areas of engineering and science. Mankind’s immense scientific prowess, the vast technological vision, and the deep scientific introspection will lead a long and visionary way in the true realization of optimization science and GAs. The areas covered in this chapter are basic fundamentals of GA, the scientific success, and the vast scientific potential behind GA applications. Scientific vision, scientific revelation, and the deep scientific introspection are the forerunners toward a newer scientific emancipation in the field of GA. This treatise unfolds the hidden intricacies of GA applications with the sole objective of the furtherance of science and engineering.
