Abstract: A program includes step S1 of inputting types of cargo transfer bags as objects of determining arrangement, step S2 of determining arrangement of triple-size cargo transfer bags, step S3 of determining arrangement of double-size cargo transfer bags, step S4 of determining arrangement of single-size cargo transfer bags, and step S5 of determining arrangement of half-size cargo transfer bags. Arrangement of triple-size cargo transfer bags is determined through the same mechanism as that for the double-size cargo transfer bags, and arrangement of single-size cargo transfer bags is determined through the same mechanism as that for the half-size cargo transfer bags.

Abstract: When information representing an application problem is entered from an input unit, a hardware specification interpretation unit calculates an operation result representing how the consequent hardware operates with respect to the application problem according to the information representing the application problem and the hardware specification description provided from the hardware specification description unit. A fitness calculation unit calculates a fitness representing how much the calculated operation result fits the application problem. A description modification unit modifies the current hardware specification description on the basis of a fitness evaluation which is the calculation result.
