| Thesis Abstract - This project compares mechanical stock market investment strategies derived using genetic algorithms with the classic mechanical dollar-cost averaging investment method. The genetic algorithm created in this effort uses the price histories of sample stocks along with fictional investment capital and transaction costs to evolve strategies that produce return on investment values that exceed those of dollar-cost averaging. These derived strategies offer buy, sell and hold advice for application to current stock price changes. Statistical analysis shows that these strategies are successful over a majority of tested cases in producing greater return on investment values than dollar-cost averaging, and therefore that the genetic algorithm evolved strategy model may take its place as a preferred alternative to dollar-cost averaging. |

Clock Synchronization Server - Source Code This source code, written in C++ for Unix systems, is to be used in simple clock-synchronization operations over TCP/IP. |
|

Clock Comparison Client - Source Code - Main Algorithm
Explanation This is to be used in conjunction with the above server. It does not adjust the Unix client's system clock, but instead tracks the differences between it and the server's, taking into account propagation delay. |

|
Clock Setting Client - Source Code 1, 2, 3, 4 This is to be used in conjunction with the above server. It adjusts the Windows client's system clock, taking into account propagation delay. The algorithm used to calculate the correct time is the same as used in the Unix client above; only the system commands differ. |
