Open BEAGLE: A New Versatile C++ Framework for Evolutionary Computation.
Christian Gagné, Marc Parizeau · 2002
This paper introduces a new Evolutionary Computation (EC) framework named Open BEAGLE, that we have been developing and improving since 1999. Coded in C++, this framework offers solid object oriented foundations based on design patterns. It contains a basic generic EC framework on which other specialized frameworks can easily be constructed. Release 1.0 of Open BEAGLE implements two specialized frameworks: a simple genetic algorithms framework, and a complete genetic programming framework. Its power and ease of use is demonstrated through an example of the latter for the classic symbolic regression problem.
