Galapagos Tutorials

Here you will find a set of laboratory exercises intended to teach you about Genetic Algorithms through learning about the Galapagos framework.

I will assume that you are working Eclipse 3.0+ and J2SE 5.0 (older versions of Java may work, but you might get a lot of warnings - don't say I didn't warn you).

Tutorials

1. Getting started: Running IntGenome from Runner
2. Creating your GA from a program
3. Using IterativeAlgorithm
4. Custom Operators WalkThrough
5. Writing a custom GeneticAlgorithm to use Speciation operator
6. Create a custom Report mechanism (not implemented yet)
