Genetic Algorithm Circuitry Router. Sun Java Applet

Abstract
This program will attempt to find the most optimum connection configuration for a 2 layer integrated circuit board. The placement of the modules has been already predefined, the trace layout will be determined using a genetic algorithm approach. The benefit of using a GA algorithm is the non-requirement of defining the problem solution in advance, we only must supply the fitness and selection criteria.

Fitness Objectives
Minimize Route Short-circuits
Minimize Completed Route Lengths
Minimize Invalid Cells, Routes
Maximize Partially Completed Route Lengths
Minimize Distance from Partial Routes to Destination Node
