The aim of this paper is to present the optimization
\r\nmethodology developed in the frame of a Coastal Transport
\r\nInformation System. The system will be used for the effective design
\r\nof coastal transportation lines and incorporates subsystems that
\r\nimplement models, tools and techniques that may support the design
\r\nof improved networks. The role of the optimization and decision
\r\nsubsystem is to provide the user with better and optimal scenarios
\r\nthat will best fulfill any constrains, goals or requirements posed. The
\r\ncomplexity of the problem and the large number of parameters and
\r\nobjectives involved led to the adoption of an evolutionary method
\r\n(Genetic Algorithms). The problem model and the subsystem
\r\nstructure are presented in detail, and, its support for simulation is also
\r\ndiscussed.<\/p>\r\n","references":"[1] D.N,.Pantazis, P., Stratakis, A.C., Daverona, E., Gkadolou, E. Lazarou,\r\nand E.
