Abstract
We explore the distributed file and task placement problem, which is intractable. We also discuss genetic algorithms and how they have been used successfully to solve combinatorial problems. Our experimental results show the GA to be far superior to the greedy heuristic in obtaining optimal and near optimal file and task placements for the problem with various data sets
