<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>

<h2>Tutorial</h2>
|
|
</td>
|
|
<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 version 0.9.2 of EO.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The tutorial home page is at
|
|
<a href="http://www.lri.fr/%7Emarc/EO/">LRI</a>. The latest
|
|
<a
|
|
href="http://eodev.sourceforge.net/eo/tutorial/html/eoTutorial.html">tutorial
|
|
release</a> contains tutorial for ParadisEO, the parallel version
|
|
of EO. It demonstrates that writing an evolutionary algorithm
|
|
evolving your own structures is now <em>easy</em>, 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.

<li>Follow by downloading
