Abstract :
This paper investigates a distributed cellular Genetic Algorithm (dcGA) for the implementation of a GPS attitude determination system. Previously, a cellular GA architecture has been proposed considering several implementations; however, comparison among these reveals that accuracy is compromised when the population size is increased. In this paper, a distributed configuration approach is proposed and compared with previous implementations in the literature; a significant improvement in terms of accuracy is reported without increasing computational cost.
