Run a genetic algorithm.

Parameters:

serverAddress	IP address of the server which should be used for distributed execution of the genetic algorithm.
serverPort	Port number on which the server is listening for incoming connections.
factoryName	Name of the module from which the genetic algorithm factory should be loaded both locally and at the server.
populationSize	Size of the population.
baseDir	Directory in which the module resides locally.
pFactoryParams	Parameters which should be used in the initialization of the factory.
pParams	Parameters for the genetic algorithm.
