|
|
|
|
<p><br>Congratulations - You have chosen the top-down approach! This
|
|
means that you want to start from something that already works, and gradually
|
|
learn about the more complex constructs. We have prepared a series of "lessons"
|
|
for you.
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<a href="eoLesson1.html">Lesson 1 </a>- a gentle introduction to the <font color="#FF6600">EO
|
|
way</font>: your first steps into <b><font color="#999900">EO representations</font></b>
|
|
using a simple generational GA. Please, <b><font color="#FF0000">spend
|
|
the necessary time</font></b> on that one, since all basic constructs presented
|
|
there are used throughout EO.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<a href="eoLesson2.html">Lesson 2</a> - <font color="#FF6600">encapsulate</font>,
|
|
encapsulate, and try more sophisticated <b><font color="#009900">selection/replacement</font></b>
|
|
mechanisms, as well as <b><font color="#CC33CC">multiple operators</font></b></li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<a href="eoLesson3.html">Lesson 3 </a>- The same algorithms, but with <font color="#FF6600">improved
|
|
input/outputs</font>: <font color="#000000">user-friendly input (i.e. without
|
|
the need to recompile!</font>) of <b><font color="#3366FF">algorithm parameters</font></b><font color="#000000">,
|
|
and </font><font color="#FF6600">checkpointing </font>(<b><font color="#3366FF">display</font></b>
|
|
of on-line <b><font color="#3366FF">statistics</font></b>, <b><font color="#3366FF">save
|
|
</font></b><font color="#000000">and
|
|
</font><b><font color="#3366FF">restore</font></b>
|
|
populations,
|
|
<b><font color="#3366FF">restart</font></b> stopped runs,
|
|
...).</li>
|
|
|
|
<p><br>Current version (Nov. 29, 2000) stops here, but here are the plans
|
|
(subjected to many changes, of course!)
|
|
<br>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Lesson 4 - More about checkpointing: write your first <font color="#FF6600">adaptive
|
|
mechanism</font>, and find out how easy it is to <b><font color="#3366FF">update</font></b>
|
|
and <b><font color="#3366FF">monitor </font></b><font color="#FF6600">dynamic
|
|
parameters</font></li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Lesson 5 - more general operators: e.g. binary, n-ary, or even specific
|
|
mate selection (your brain and my beauty)!</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Lesson 6 - why not go parallel? From the simple asynchronous SSGA to the
|
|
more sophisticated island model (no totally distributed population yet).</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Lesson 7 - ...</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
Of course, in each lesson, you have links to the Bottom-Up page of the
|
|
corresponding component of an EA you are modifying.
|
|
<br>( ... Well, to tell you the truth, as of today, November 28, this is
|
|
not true :-)
