Office Layout, Genetic Algorthm, Sequence-Pair
In this paper, we propose an office layout support system using genetic algorithm. The proposed system has two phases; (1) generation of room arrangement plans and (2) generation of layout plans for workspace. In the proposed system, some conditions on rooms and furniture are given by users, some room arrangement plans which satisfy the conditions are generated by genetic algorithm. After one of the generated room arrangement plans is selected by a user, and then some layout plans for workspace which satisfy the conditions are generated by genetic algorithm. In the proposed system, desks are packed per group, and relation between arrangement plans for every group is expressed using the sequence-pair representation. We carried out a series of computer experiments in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed system and confirmed that the proposed system can generate various room arrangement plans and layout plans.
