<H1>EO Evolutionary Computation Framework and Library</H1></CENTER>
|
||||
|
||||
EO (Evolvable|Evolutionary objects) is a C++ toolbox for evolutionary computation which defines interfaces for
|
||||
many classes of algorithms used in evolutionary computation, and, at the
|
||||
same time, provides some examples that use those interfaces. The client/user
|
||||
can include those objects in his or her programs, or create their own. If new objects are created, the GeNeura team commit themselves to test them, and make them available
|
||||
to the Evolutionary Computation community. In this way, no changes have
|
||||
to be made to the library design or to a program that implements an EC algorithm: just new classes added. Our intention would be that, in the future, somebody implementing an EC algorithm would say "I am using EO, plus a class that hs been made publicly available", improving repeatability of EC results and easing its availability.
|
||||
<BR>EO uses STL, and ANSI C++. So far, it has been tested and works
|
||||
with gcc 2.8.1 and egcs 1.0.2 in Linux, Irix, Win95/NT (with Cygwin) and
|
||||
Solaris Machines, and with Visual C++ 5.0 in WinNT machines. Makefiles for Unix and project
|
||||
files and makefiles for NT are provided.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Installing EO and compiling examples in UNIX</h2>
|
||||
To start and use it, first you can untar or unzip it (depending on the distribution you got), by doing,
|
||||
<BR><TT>bash$ zcat eo-0.6.tgz | tar xvf -</TT><BR>
|
||||
or
|
||||
<BR><TT>bash$ unzip eo-0.6.zip</TT></P>
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
Once everything is decompressed to the eo-0.6 directory (or whatever), <TT>cd</TT> to it and type
|
||||
<BR><TT>bash$ configure</TT><br>
|
||||
or
|
||||
<BR><TT>bash$ configure --prefix=/my/fav/directory</TT><br>
|
||||
if you intend to use it from another directory. If you do so, you´ll have then to copy manually all the <TT>.h</TT> and <TT>.a</TT> files to it. Right now, EO is mostly templates-based, so it has mainly got header files, plus a small and independent utility library.</P>
|
||||
<P> After that, type
|
||||
<BR><TT>bash$ make</TT>
|
||||
<BR>This makes the object and library files needed, makes the examples
|
||||
in the <TT>apps/examples</TT> directory, and builds the genetic mastermind
|
||||
application in the <TT>apps/master</TT> directory. If anything goes wrong at this stage, e-mail us. It should work properly with the compilers mentioned so far.
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
<p>Then, to unzip the documentation
|
||||
<BR><TT>bash$ make docunzip</TT>
|
||||
<BR>which unzips the HTML documentation into the <TT>doc</TT> directory.</p>
|
||||
<P>If there is any problem, write to any of the addresses below, or
|
||||
just do
|
||||
<BR><TT>bash$ make bug-report</TT>
|
||||
<BR>and tell us your problem, indicating EO release, the C++ compiler you
|
||||
are using, and the platform.
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Installing EO and compiling examples in Win95/NT</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
Unzip the library to your favorite directory by double-clicking on the eo-0.6 icon, and then load <tt> apps/examples/examples.dsw </tt> or <tt>
|
||||
apps/examples/master.dsw </tt> workspaces; then define the main
|
||||
directory you installed it to as default include directory (in
|
||||
tools->directories or somesuch) and press F7 for compiling. Alternatively, if you favor makefiles, change into the apps/examples directory and run<br>
|
||||
<TT>C:\my\dir\eo-0.6\apps\examples> nmake /f examples.mak</TT><BR>
|
||||
which will create debug executables for all the examples. </P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P> In the CygWin environment, everything should work in the same way as in UNIX, but for a couple of things. To run configure, type<br>
|
||||
<tt>bash$ sh ./configure</tt>, or, much better, create a <TT>\bin</TT> directory and copy sh.exe to it; that way, shell scripts will work properly.</P>

<h2>Availability</h2>
|
||||
The latest versions of EO are always available from <A HREF="http://geneura.ugr.es/~jmerelo/eo ">http://geneura.ugr.es/~jmerelo/eo</A>
|
||||
and <A HREF="ftp://geneura.ugr.es/pub/eo">ftp://geneura.ugr.es/pub/eo. </A>

<H2>Working with EO</H2>
|
||||
For a quick dive into the eo library, check the <A HREF="http://geneura.ugr.es/~jmerelo/eo/ASimpleGeneticAlgorithm.html">SGA</A>
|
||||
<BR>Then go ahead to the <A HREF="http://geneura.ugr.es/~jmerelo/eo/DefiningGAstheeasyway.html">EasyGA,</A>
|
||||
which is a more flexible implementation of a Genetic Algorithm.
|
||||
<BR>Then, why not, see how EO implements Simulated Annealing in <A HREF="http://geneura.ugr.es/~jmerelo/eo/EOSimAnnAlg.html">EOSimAnnAlg</A>. If you have unzipped the documentation, there should be also <A HREF="doc/index.html">local copies</A> of these files.

<H2>Tell us something!</H2>
|

If you have any problem, have created a new class, or just want to
|
||||
tell us something, write to <A HREF="mailto:eo@kal-el.ugr.es">eo@kal-el.ugr.es</A>.

EO is free and free distribution; however, if you include parts of EO in

a commercial product, you have to request authorization from us.
|

<BR>The usual things apply too. If it does not work, if your wife or dogs

abandons you, or your room humector stops working, it's not our fault.
