Designed a system architecture based on user interactions. It was made up of an overall architecture, a mutate parts architecture, a fitness function architecture, and an import/ output information architecture.

had meeting with Jen at 1.00 in which we discussed the system architecture and planned architecture and made some modifications. We also decided on a fitness function. As the parts for the model aren ot going to be ready for a while Jen suggested first coding up the EA using the lac operon sequence data as it is well characterised and useful to the project. When the parts and constraints repositories are up and running these can be added.

I also did Morgan's Java exercises and changed the arrays to the collections, mostly Lists and incorporated these into my program mostly as ArrayLists. This did involve changing quite a lot of code involving variables, but once I had got the hang of iot it did not take too long.

Looked at the hibernate tutorial. This involved downloading a lot of things and seemed fairly complicated. I encountered problems when trying to implement the java code that was provided. but on the whole it has given me more of an understanding of how everything can fit together. I think that the best way of properly understanding hibernate wil be when I actually use it in pmy project.
