A multi-level genetic algorithm for a multi-stage space allocation problem

A new case of space allocation problem is considered. The study is based on a real-world multi-stage hostel space allocation for university students. A multi-level application of genetic algorithm metaheuristic with promising results is presented. Based on the case study, we examined the sensitivity analysis of various genetic algorithm operators in order to establish the baseline for practical deployment. The feasibility rate of the solutions obtained were also determined and presented.
