<h2> What is EO?</h2>
</td>
<td bgcolor="#ffcc99">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.&nbsp;</td>

<td bgcolor="#ffcc99">Current release
is&nbsp; <a
href="https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=9775&amp;package_id=10921&amp;release_id=359994">0.9.3z</a>:
it supports gcc 3.x, 4.x, and good old gcc 2.9x.&nbsp; This is the
version you should use <b><font color="#ff6600">NOW (September 29.
2005)</font></b>.
<br>
All subsequent versions will
<span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">NOT</span>
support gcc 2.xx any more.<br> In particular, you can also get
the <font color="#ff0000">current version</font> through the daily
snapshots made available
at <a href="http://www.lri.fr/%7Emarc/EO/snapshot">LRI</a>.
<p>The tutorial home page is at
<a href="http://www.lri.fr/%7Emarc/EO/">LRI</a>. The latest
<a href="http://www.lri.fr/%7Emarc/EO/">tutorial release</a> 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 <font color="#ff0000">easy</font>, using
ready-to-use template files. </p>
<p>EO was initiated at <a href="http://geneura.ugr.es/%7Ejmerelo/EO.html">University of Granada</a>,
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.&nbsp;</p>

<a href="http://geneura.ugr.es/">Geneura Team</a> at University of
Granada, headed by <a href="http://geneura.ugr.es/%7Ejmerelo/">JJ.
Merelo</a>. The developement team has&nbsp; then been reinforced by
<a href="http://www.dcs.napier.ac.uk/coil/summerschool/seniors-keijzer.html">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/">S&eacute;bastien Cahon</a>, who
developped the parallel version of EO, ParadisEO,
<a href="mailto:okoenig@users.sourceforge.net">Olivier K&ouml;nig</a>,
who did a lot of useful additions and cleaning of the code
and <a href="http://www.jochen-kuepper.de">Jochen K&uuml;pper</a>,

<h2>Tutorial</h2>

<td bgcolor="#ffcc99">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
<a href="http://www.lri.fr/%7Emarc/EO/eo/tutorial/html/eoTutorial.html">trying
it on-line</a>,
before <a href="http://www.lri.fr/%7Emarc/EO/">downloading it</a>.
<p><b>Warning</b>: the tutorial refers to the current 0.9.2
version of EO (see Download section).</p>

<h2>Presentations</h2>

<td bgcolor="#ffcc99">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 href="EO_EA01.ps.gz">the paper
(gzipped Postscript)</a> or <a href="LeCreusot.pdf">the slides
(PDF)</a>.&nbsp;
<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

has been embedded in an ActiveX control,
called <font face="Helvetica,sans serif">DegaX</font> by 3 degree
students. You can download it
from <a href="ftp://geneura.ugr.es/pub/eo/DegaX">the DegaX
directory</a>. It's better if you download it by parts:
<ul>
<li>Start by
<a href="ftp://geneura.ugr.es/pub/eo/DegaX/DegaX-doc.zip">the documentation</a>,
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 <a href="DegaX">here</a>.</li>
<li>Follow by downloading
the <a href="ftp://geneura.ugr.es/pub/eo/DegaX/DegaX-inst.zip">ActiveX
control</a>, and install it. You'll need this to embed it in any
application.</li>
<li>Several apps that use the ActiveX control are also there:
in <a href="ftp://geneura.ugr.es/pub/eo/DegaX/DegaX-VB.zip">Visual
Basic</a>,
in <a href="ftp://geneura.ugr.es/pub/eo/DegaX/DegaX-VC.zip">Visual
C++</a>, and in <a href="ftp://geneura.ugr.es/pub/eo/DegaX/DegaX-xls.zip">Excel</a>.</li>
