<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/">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.
|
||
</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 K<>nig</a>,
|
||
who did a lot of useful additions and cleaning of the code
|
||
and <a href="http://www.jochen-kuepper.de">Jochen K<>pper</a>, the
|
||
master of 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:
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Linux x86 with GCC 3.x and 4.x</li>
|
||
<li>Linux x86_64 with GCC 3.x</li>
|
||
<li>MacOS X/Darwin PowerPC with GCC 3.3</li>
|
||
<li>Solaris SPARC with GCC 3.3.2</li>
|
||
<li>Solaris x86 with GCC 3.3.2 (t-MGE1bit fails)</li>
|
||
<li>CygWin (Windows XP) with GCC 3.3.1 (cygming special).
|
||
<li>Win95/NT with VC++ 5.0 and Borland Builder. Makefiles and
|
||
projects files are provided.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
If you have tested EO on a system not listed here, please

||
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.

<h2>Tutorial</h2>

<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 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
|
||
<a href="http://www.lri.fr/%7Emarc/EO/eo/tutorial/html/eoTutorial.html">trying
|
||
it on-line</a>,
|
||

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

An older (but <i>huge</i>) PowerPoint presentation shows the EO
