Description
Summary:This paper presents Evolutionary Optimization Tool (Evoptool), an optimization toolkit that implements a set of meta-heuristics based on the Evolutionary Computation paradigm. Evoptool provides a common platform for the development and test of new algorithms, in order to facilitate the performance comparison activity. The toolkit offers a wide set of benchmark problems, from classical toy examples to complex tasks, and a collection of implementations of algorithms from the Genetic Algorithms and Estimation of Distribution Algorithms paradigms. Evoptool is flexible and easy to extend, also with algorithms based on other approaches that go beyond Evolutionary Computation.
