Abstract

Evolutionary algorithms have been used to optimize water systems in the literature for over three decades. However, their use for solving real-world water system problems in industry is still very limited. The work presented in this paper details the development of an interactive visualisation client for water distribution network design, which is part of a larger project to bring EAs closer to practicing engineers. The system aims at engaging engineers by actively involving them in the optimization process through the use of advanced visual analytics and novel interactive evolution techniques.

Keyphrases: interaction, optimization, visualisation, water distribution network design
