ECJ then and now
Sean Luke · Proceedings of the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference Companion · 2017
ECJ is a mature and widely used evolutionary computation library with particular strengths in genetic programming, massive distributed computation, and coevolution. In Fall of 2016 we received a three-year NSF grant to expand ECJ into a toolkit with wide-ranging facilities designed to serve the broader metaheuristics community. This report discusses ECJ's history, capabilities, and architecture, then details our planned extensions and expansions.
