What is EO?

- 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. - - - -

Tutorial

- - 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 - trying - it on-line, - before downloading it. -

Warning: the tutorial refers to version 0.9.2 of EO.

- The tutorial home page is at - LRI. The latest - tutorial - release contains tutorial for ParadisEO, the parallel version - of EO. It demonstrates that writing an evolutionary algorithm - evolving your own structures is now easy, using - ready-to-use template files. + EO is a templates-based, ANSI-C++ compliant evolutionary + computation library.

Platforms

EO should work on Windows and any Un*x-like operating system with + a standard-conforming C++ development system. +

Recent versions of EO have been tested on the following + platforms:
