It uses an optimization procedure (GenOpt program was linked to JGAP (Java Genetic Algorithm Package) genetic algorithm) in order to modify the shape of a quadratic curve, which in turn is used to describe the slat profile. The aim is to achieve the following criteria: 1. To reduce summer two dimensional (2D) transmitted flux 2. To increase winter 2D transmitted flux 3. To increase the view through the system 4. To increase the upward part of 2D flux leaving the system (redirection ability). Pages: 3667 - 3672 Paper:
