<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.</td>

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/">JJ. 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.

EO was initiated

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.
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/">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

<h2>Platforms</h2>

<td bgcolor="#ffcc99">EO has been tested and works on the
following platforms:&nbsp;
<td bgcolor="#ffcc99">
<p>EO should work on Windows and any Un*x-like operating system with
a standard-conforming C++ development system.

<p>Recent versions of EO have been tested on the following
platforms:
<ul>
<li>Linux with egcs 1.0.2, g++ 2.95, g++ 3.x, gcc 4.x</li>
<li>Irix 4.0 with egcs 1.0.2&nbsp;</li>
<li>Solaris with egcs 1.0.2 and gcc 2.8.1&nbsp;</li>
<li>Win95/NT with CygWin/egcs 1.0.2, VC++ 5.0 and Borland Builder.
Makefiles and projects files are provided.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Linux with GCC 3.x and 4.x</li>
<li>Windows/CygWin with GCC 3.3.1 (cygming special).
<li>Win95/NT with VC++ 5.0 and Borland Builder. Makefiles and

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-0.9.3zz works. It is tested on Linux with
gcc-2.9x and several systems (IRIX, Solaris) with egcs.
