<h2>What is EO?</h2>

</td>

<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/%7Ejmerelo/EO.html">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 automatic installation procedures.

<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.

The tutorial demonstrates that writing an evolutionary algorithm
|
|
evolving your own structures is now <em>easy</em>, using
|
|
ready-to-use template files. Although it 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>.

The latest
|
|
<a
|

|
|
release</a> includes
|
|
a <a
|
|
href="http://eodev.sourceforge.net/eo/tutorial/pdf/paradiseoJet7.pdf">introduction
|
|
to ParadisEO</a>, the parallel version of EO.

A functional and "philosophical" overview of EO was presented at
|
|
<a href="http://www.cmap.polytechnique.fr/%7Eea01/">EA'01
|
|
conference</a>. You can download <a
|

paper</a> or

|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
An older (but <i>huge</i>) 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 <a href="ftp://geneura.ugr.es/pub/jmerelo/eo_ppt.zip">from
