Role and Working of Genetic Algorithm in Computer Science

Genetic algorithm is an evolutionary computing approach which is recurrently used in different areas of Computer Science, Management, Physics, and Engineering etc. In this paper, an effort has been made to demonstrate the role of genetic algorithm in the different domains of Computer Science. The study reveal that genetic algorithm is effectively used to solve the different research problems viz. query optimization, task scheduling, data mining, part of speech tagger, phrase chunker, image segmentation, inventory management etc.
