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. |

- 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 version 0.9.2 of EO.
+ |
- The tutorial home page is at
- LRI. The latest
- tutorial
- release contains tutorial for ParadisEO, the parallel version
- of EO. It demonstrates that writing an evolutionary algorithm
- evolving your own structures is now easy, using
- ready-to-use template files.

Platforms
|
- EO has been tested and works on the
- following platforms:
+ |
+ EO should work on Windows and any Un*x-like operating system with
+ a standard-conforming C++ development system.
+
+
+ Recent versions of EO have been tested 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.
+ - Linux with GCC 3.x and 4.x
+ - Windows/CygWin with GCC 3.3.1 (cygming special).
+
- Win95/NT with VC++ 5.0 and Borland Builder. Makefiles and

+ If you have tested EO on a system not listed here, please

+
+
+ If you are working on a system with an older C++ compiler there
+ is a good chance that eo-0.9.3zz works. It is tested on Linux with

- 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.
