The selection and reproduction schemes of the genetic algorithm are modified, and a new operator called forced mutation is introduced. These changes are shown to improve the convergence of the algorithm and to lead to near-optimal sensor locations. Two practical examples are investigated: sensor placement for an early version of the space station and an individual space station photovoltaic array
