Positioning the texts requires that overlap among texts be avoided, that cartographic conventions and preference be obeyed. So, the label placement belongs to a problem area of difficult solution. A variety of methods have been proposed to generate quality labeling, with a wide range of results. In this work, two methods are presented, a Constructive Genetic Algorithm (CGA) and an initial exact method for small instances. The CGA application produced quality-labeling placements for printed maps, and the exact method is used to confirm the superiority of these results. %E Ibaraki, T., %E Nonobe, K., %E Yagiura, M., %T A Construtive Genetic approach to Point-Feature Cartographic Label Placement %@electronicmailaddress %@electronicmailaddress lorena@lac.inpe.br %@secondarytype PRE LI %K Constructive genetic algorithm, point-feature cartographic label placement, genetic algorithm and exact algorithm. %@nexthigherunit 8JMKD3MGPCW/3ESGTTP %B Metaheuristics: Progress as Real Problem Solvers %@usergroup administrator %@usergroup simone %@group LAC-INPE-MCT-BR %@group LAC-INPE-MCT-BR %@secondarykey INPE--/ %2 sid.inpe.br/iris@1916/2005/12.14.17.00.58 %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais, Laboratório Associado de Computação e Matemática  Aplicada, (INPE, LAC) %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) %@versiontype publisher %I Kluwer Academic %P 285-300 %4 sid.inpe.br/iris@1916/2005/12.14.17.00 %D 2005 %@documentstage not transferred %A Yamamoto, Missae, %A Lorena, Luiz Antonio Nogueira, %@dissemination NTRSNASA; BNDEPOSITOLEGAL. %@area COMP
