3.6 Conclusion - what chapter three all about and what will be in the next chapter. (1 paragraph)
-everything should be in details for an example if you are using GA in your solution then one of the process is you need to model is your solution using GA. What are the steps in GA? How do you model your solution with GA in every steps. What is your fitness function, how will u do the selection, crossover and mutation?
-normally there is a testing or evaluation process, you need to explain details what is your plan to evaluate your solution. If you do simulation, why you choose simulation? what will you simulate? How? How many times will you simulate? What tools do u use to simulate? What are the parameters that you want to measure during the simulations? What is good performance and what is bad performance?
