[EvA] Soem beginners questions on Eva

[Alex Wood]

Hi

 

I'm interested in using Eva in a test harness I'm developing.  But before I
do, could I check a few things with you to see if Eva will support my
requirements:

1) I need to implement an Island model (which I've never done before, so the
easier the better), I see there is a brief mention of it on the webpage, is
there some documentation/example to look at?

2) I need to run an external command, and then parse a text file output by
this command to evaluate my fitness.  At the moment I'm just using a
threadpool of runtime.exec()s to do this, will Eva support this (I suppose
there should be no reason why it shouldn't)? Or could I use Eva
client/server model and have the clients do each runtime.exec()s?

 

If these aren't possible, or this would be easier using another Java Genetic
Algorithm library, could you possibly suggest one also?  I am also looking
at ECJ and JGAP (and wishing GAUL was available for Java), if these help?

 

Thank you for any help and suggestions you can give.

 

Alex
