Look for the Mapping Toolbox manual here: http://www.mathworks.com/help/pdf_doc/allpdf.html
The toolbox will allow you to read/write shapefiles/rasters/etc, perform basic GIS operations, and display geo-referenced data. Note that ESRI File Geodatabases are a "proprietary format/structure" and they are therefore not supported by the Mapping toolbox (so you might want to avoid using it in ArcGIS).
Also, the ArcGIS toolbox is available as a "library" for Python called Geoprocessing/Geoprocessor until ArcGIS 9.3.1 and Arcpy from version 10 on. This allows you to create a Python "wrapper" for tools from the ArcGIS toolbox, that you can call from MATLAB. I don't recommend this though, because it is heavy to maintain projects based on and mixing MATLAB/Python/ArcGIS.

I want to perform the optimization of sensors in the Arc Map.I have created the model on the ArcMap of the terrain but i dont have any code which can be implemented on the arcmap for the placement.
Any idea how can i get the genetic algorithm and then implement it on the arcmap or i can import the map on the python and can perform the task.
