Lesson plan
Java Evolutionary Computation Toolkit
ECJ is a freeware evolutionary computation research system written in Java. It is a framework that supports a variety of evolutionary computation techniques, such as genetic algorithms, genetic programming, evolution strategies, coevolution, particle swarm optimization, and differential evolution. The framework models iterative evolutionary processes using a series of pipelines arranged to connect one or more subpopulations of individuals with selection, breeding (such as crossover, and mutation operators that produce new individuals. The framework is open source and is distributed under the Academic Free License. ECJ was created by Sean Luke, a computer science professor at George Mason University, and is maintained by Sean Luke and a variety of contributors. Features (listed from ECJ's project page): General Features: * GUI with charting * Platform-independent checkpointing and logging * Hierarchical parameter files * Multithreading * Mersenne Twister Random Number Generators * Abstractions for implementing a variety of EC forms.…
