We illustrate the approach with the design of a problemsolving environment supporting the execution of genetic algorithms. We describe a prototype supporting parallel execution, visualization, and steering. A life cycle for the development of applications based on genetic algorithms is proposed.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
