A Genetic Algorithm Metaheuristic For The Weapon-Target Based Media Allocation Problem

This effort is to solve the media allocation model using metaheuristic genetic algorithm. The NP-complete model which is an integer nonlinear programming is originated from the weapon-target assignment problem of military operations research. We solve the hypothetical example is previously given and solved by MS Excel's Solver using genetic algorithm in this paper. We obtain better solutions than found in the previous published study
