evomarc 2a93bba7e6 Changed the "to-down / bottom-up" to "algorithm-based / component-based"
Also added all replacement procedures in eoEngine.html
and the general operator interface in eoOperators.html

<font color="#FF0000">EO - The Algorithm-Based approach</font></h1></center>
<p><br>Congratulations - You have chosen the algorithm-based approach!&nbsp;
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&nbsp; 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>
<br>&nbsp;
<p>&nbsp;
<p>Current version (Nov. 29, 2000) stops here, but here are the plans (subjected
to many changes, of course!)
<br>&nbsp;
<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 Component-Based 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 :-)
