Remarks

Before defence?

• LKF’s presentation, noting changes, suggestions, disparity
• Calming – disturbing – upsetting – frightened
• Three examiners & two audience

Defence?

• Quick, swift intro., piercing speech & visuals, answering queries carefully but neatly
• Pointed out singularity & clarity of thesis focus, example-based, optimisation technique, engineering knowledge & relations
• Note explanations to observations / findings

Aftermath?

• Discussion with supervisors abt. 1) GA paper & 2) M.Eng research thesis-project
• Need for balancing of internal needs & external opportunity & chances, debts-wealth, family-lifestyle, obligations-commitment

Concerns

• Notations: explained in thesis itself, italics, after function use
• The Simple GA: in-depth, clarity, flowchart, problem based, processes to be explained, inter- & intra-population
• GA Operators: Reproduction - inter-population, macro, affects best & av. fitness, shows structuring important; Crossover - intra-pop, micro, av. fitness same, judge by best f
• Smart control: re-focus on main findings, trim off redundant, mutually using previous findings, compare & contrast
• Conclusions: focus on GA structuring & control aspects
