  abstract =     "Linear Congruential Generators (LCGs) are one model of
                 pseudorandom number generators used in a great number
                 of applications. They strongly depend on, and are
                 completely characterized by, some critical parameters.
                 The selection of good parameters to define a LCG is a
                 difficult task mainly done, nowadays, by consulting
                 tabulated values [10] or by trial and error. In this
                 work, the authors present a method based on genetic
                 algorithms that can automatically solve the problem of
                 finding good parameters for a LCG. They also show that
                 the selection of an evaluation function for the
                 generated solutions is critical to the problem and how
                 a seemingly good function such as entropy could lead to
                 poor results. Finally, other fitness functions are
                 proposed and one of them is shown to produce very good
                 results. Some other possibilities and variations that
                 may produce fine linear congruential generators are
                 also mentioned.",
