<h2>What is EO?</h2>

</td>

<td bgcolor="#ffcc99">
|
|
|
|
<p> 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. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p> EO was started by the <a href="http://geneura.ugr.es/">Geneura
|
|
Team</a> at the University of Granada, headed by <a
|
|
href="http://geneura.ugr.es/%7Ejmerelo/">Juan Julián Merelo</a>. The <a
|
|
href="http://geneura.ugr.es/~jmerelo/EO.orig.html"
|
|
target="_blank">original Web site</a> 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. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p> The developement team has then been reinforced by <a
|
|
href="http://www.cs.vu.nl/~mkeijzer">Maarten Keijzer</a>, the C++
|
|
wizzard, and <a href="http://www.lri.fr/%7Emarc">Marc Schoenauer</a>.
|
|
Later came <a href="http://www.liacs.nl/%7Ejeggermo/">Jeroen
|
|
Eggermont</a>, who, among other things, did a lot of work on GP, <a
|
|
href="http://www.lifl.fr/%7Ecahon/">Sébastien Cahon</a>, who
|
|
developped the parallel version of EO, ParadisEO, <a
|
|
href="mailto:okoenig@users.sourceforge.net">Olivier König</a>, who did a
|
|
lot of useful additions and cleaning of the code and <a
|
|
href="http://www.jochen-kuepper.de">Jochen Küpper</a>, working on
|
|
infrastructure maintenance. </p>

<h2>Platforms</h2>
|
|
</td>
|
|
<td bgcolor="#ffcc99">
|
|
|
|
<p> EO should work on Windows and any Un*x-like operating system with a
|
|
standard-conforming C++ development system. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p> Recent versions of EO have been tested on the following platforms:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Linux x86 with GCC 3.x and 4.x</li>
|
|
<li>Linux x86_64 with GCC 3.x and GCC 4.x</li>
|
|
<li>MacOS X/Darwin PowerPC with GCC 3.x</li>
|
|
<li>MacOS X/Darwin x86 with GCC 4.x</li>
|
|
<li>Microsoft Windows using Cygwin's GCC 3.x (cygming special).
|
|
<li>Microsoft Windows using Visual Studio 2003/2005; projects files
|
|
are provided.</li>
|
|
<li>Solaris SPARC with GCC 3.x</li>
|
|
<li>Solaris x86 with GCC 3.x</li>
|
|
</ul>
|

|
<p> If you have tested EO on a system not listed here, please <a
|
|
href="mailto:eodev-main@lists.sourceforge.net?subject=test-report">let
|
|
us know</a>. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p> If you are working on a system with an older C++ compiler there
|
|
is a good chance that eo-0.9.3z.1 works. It is tested on Linux
|
|
with gcc-2.9x and several systems (IRIX, Solaris) with egcs. </p>

<h2>Documentation</h2>

</td>
|
|
<td bgcolor="#ffcc99">
|
|
|
|
<p>The tutorial demonstrates that writing an evolutionary algorithm
|
|
evolving your own structures is now <em>easy</em>, using ready-to-use
|
|
template files. Although the tutorial has not been upgraded for some
|
|
time now and refers to version 0.9.2 of EO, it nevertheless remains the
|
|
best way to dive into EO. You can start by trying it on-line at <a
|
|
href="http://www.lri.fr/%7Emarc/EO/eo/tutorial/html/eoTutorial.html">LRI</a>
|
|
or <a
|
|
href="http://eodev.sourceforge.net/eo/tutorial/html/eoTutorial.html">SourceForge</a>,
|
|
before <a href="http://www.lri.fr/%7Emarc/EO/">downloading it</a>. The
|
|
tutorial is also included in the <a
|
|
href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=9775">released
|
|
sources</a>. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The latest <a
|
|
href="http://eodev.sourceforge.net/eo/tutorial/html/eoTutorial.html">tutorial
|
|
release</a> includes a <a
|
|
href="http://eodev.sourceforge.net/eo/tutorial/pdf/paradiseoJet7.pdf">introduction
|
|
to ParadisEO</a>, the parallel version of EO. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The complete code is also well documented and you can look at the
|
|
generated <a
|
|
href="http://eodev.sourceforge.net/eo/doc/html/index.html">interface
|
|
documentation</a>. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The easiest way to create a complete new EO-project, even for new
|
|
genomes, is to use the script provided in tutorial/Templates/; see
|
|
the README in that directory and lesson 5 of the tutorial for
|
|
detail.</p>
