Hi, I would like to announce the release of the Algorithm::Evolutionary CPAN module. This is the current incarnation of my former OPEAL module, and is a general-purpose, buzzword-compliant evolutionary computation Perl library. It includes several kind of "chromosomes", operators to massage them, several kind of algorithms (EasyGa, FullGA, CanonicalGA, SimulatedAnnealing...). And docs. Download it from your favourite CPAN mirror, or directly from: http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/J/JM/JMERELO/ (latest version is 0.52_1)
At the same time, I have put the material for the evolutionary computation talk I gave at YAPC::Europe online: the tutorial is at http://geneura.ugr.es/~jmerelo/evolutionary-computation-perl/ or http://opeal.sourceforge.net/evolutionary-computation-perl/ and slides at http://opeal.sourceforge.net/yapc-europe/slides/pres-yapc-europe.htm or http://geneura.ugr.es/~jmerelo/yapc-europe-slides/pres-yapc-europe.htm Any feedback (and offers for collaboration) are welcome. Cheers! JJ -- PPSN2002 => http://ppsn2002.ugr.es Home => http://geneura.ugr.es/~jmerelo Tutorial Perl => http://www.merelo.net/tutoperl
