A Java™ based framework for Evolutionary Algorithms

Updated Version 2.04 Kronfeld - 2009-11-20
After about half a year we updated the official release of EvA2 to version 2.04. Next to several clean-ups, revisions of gradient descent and the clustering-based niching method, basic command-line arguments are now recognised allowing users to start EvA2 without GUI and with earlier configured run definitions.

Mailing List Installed: Kronfeld - 2008-08-07
We installed a mailing list for users and developers of the EvA2 software package. If you have questions or want to make suggestions on further developement, be welcome to join the EvA mailing list. To subscribe, visit the mailman site at listserv.uni-tuebingen.de.

New Release: Kronfeld - 2008-06-01
The new release version of EvA2 is now online with binary and source packages. The license of EvA2 is LGPL. The project has been split into three branches, making the main optimization kernel, EvA2Base, pretty slim.
New features include a revised GUI, a whole new MATLAB™ interface, several additional optimization benchmarks, and new optimization strategies such as the parameter-free TRIBES implementation (an adaptive swarm) by M.Clerc. Result output is now easier to configure and post-processing can be run easily through the GUI.

Short Introduction: Kronfeld - 2008-05-01
Together with the EvA2 release there is a new Short Introduction to basic functionality and interfaces of EvA2. It is available in the documentation section.

New Name: Kronfeld - 2008-04-01
JavaEvA will, for future versions, be called EvA2 stressing the progress made in functionality and layout during the last time.

JavaEvA Documentation: Streichert - 2005-05-04
The JavaEvA documentation has been published as technical report, can now be cited and is online available.
