Progress Report
    for the Period
      from: October 15, 1997
      to: April 14, 1998





1. Objectives
    The main purpose of the project is to investigate possibilities of applying evolutionary computation techniques (extended by genetic memory structures) for a particular optimisation process, which aims at reduction of pollution in the area of the whole Poland. A new system would be capable to include all major sources of pollution (70 sources, 300 stacks) as well as the current weather conditions. The outcome of the system would indicate the recommended of produced energy for each particular pollution source.

3. Work and Achievements in Current Report Period
    In the period form 15 October to 14 April 1998 the following works were carried out:
    • Detailed conception of the whole system
    • Methodological assumptions for valorisation model (i.e. model for the sensitivity of different environments)
    • Computational grid compatible with MSC-W EMEP (Meteorological Synthesing Centre-West Co- operative Programme for Monitoring and Evaluation of the Long Range Transmission of Air Pollutants in Europe).
    • Data of population density in 20 regions of Poland (20 from 49) (in each grid unit).
    • Test data of SO2 emission from all major sources of pollution (technical and geographical data).
