EO Evolutionary Computation Framework

+
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
+

What is EO?

+ 		EO is a templates-based, ANSI-C++ compliant + evolutionary computation library. It contains classes for almost any + kind of evolutionary computation you might come up to - at least for + the ones we could think of. It is component-based, so that if you + don't find the class you need in it, it is very easy to subclass + existing abstract or concrete classes. 
+

Download

+ 		Current release + is  0.9.3z: + it supports gcc 3.x, 4.x, and good old gcc 2.9x.  This is the + version you should use NOW (September 29. + 2005). +
+ All subsequent versions will + NOT + support gcc 2.xx any more.
In particular, you can also get + the current version through the daily + snapshots made available + at LRI. +

The tutorial home page is at + LRI. The latest + tutorial release Dec. 12, + 2002!) contains tutorial for ParadisEO, the parallel version of EO. And + still demonstrates that writing an evolutionary algorithm evolving your + own structures is now easy, using + ready-to-use template files.

+

EO was initiated at University of Granada, + and the original Web site is also the only place where you will find + old releases of EO (up to 0.8.7), but beware that it is not compatible + at all with the current version. 

+
+

EO@sourceforge

+ 		EO was started by the + Geneura Team at University of + Granada, headed by JJ. + Merelo. The developement team has  then been reinforced by + Maarten + Keijzer, the C++ wizzard, and Marc + Schoenauer. Later came Jeroen + Eggermont, who, among other things, did a lot of work on GP, + Sébastien Cahon, who + developped the parallel version of EO, ParadisEO, + Olivier König, + who did a lot of useful additions and cleaning of the code + and Jochen Küpper, + the master of automatic installation procedures. +

The following resources are available, thanks to sourceforge

+ +
+

Tutorial

+ 		The tutorial has not been upgraded for some time + now (almost 3 years!). It nevertheless remains the best way to dive + into EO. You can start by + trying + it on-line, + before downloading it. +

Warning: the tutorial refers to the current 0.9.2 + version of EO (see Download section).

+
+

Platforms

+ 		EO has been tested and works on the + following platforms:  +
    +
  • Linux with egcs 1.0.2, g++ 2.95, g++ 3.x, gcc 4.x
    • +
  • Irix 4.0 with egcs 1.0.2 
    • +
  • Solaris with egcs 1.0.2 and gcc 2.8.1 
    • +
  • Win95/NT with CygWin/egcs 1.0.2, VC++ 5.0 and Borland Builder. + Makefiles and projects files are provided. 
    • +
+
+

Presentations

+ 		A functional and "philosophical" overview of EO + was presented at + EA'01 + conference. You can download the paper + (gzipped Postscript) or the slides + (PDF).  +

An older, but huge, PowerPoint presentation shows the EO + philosophy, and it includes a Visual Basic macro for evolving + objects in Visual Basic for Applications. You can download + it from + here. 

+
+

Related Apps

+ 		+ EO 0.8.4 + has been embedded in an ActiveX control, + called DegaX by 3 degree + students. You can download it + from the DegaX + directory. It's better if you download it by parts: +
    +
  • Start by + the documentation, + which is, as everthing else, in Spanish, explains how to + decompress and use everything, and the evolutionary and + Microsoftie basics. The documentation is also available + from here.
    • +
  • Follow by downloading + the ActiveX + control, and install it. You'll need this to embed it in any + application.
    • +
  • Several apps that use the ActiveX control are also there: + in Visual + Basic, + in Visual + C++, and in Excel.
    • +
  • Finally, if you feel like it, download the + sources + for everything.

Releases

+ 		Releases are at + EO + site at sourceforge. +

You can also of course use the + sourceforge CVS + facilities or get a snapshot + from LRI.

+
+

Mailing Lists

+ 		We would like EO to be an open development + effort; that is why we have created two mailing lists to discuss + future developments, solve technical problems, announce releases, + publish patches, and discuss evolutionary computation in general. + Join the EO + mailing lists
