The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: AI::Evolutionary
DSLIP: bdpOg
description: Evolutionary algorithms in PERL
userid: JMERELO (J. J. Merelo)
chapterid: 23 (Miscellaneous_Modules)
communities:
perl-ai , perl-es
similar:
AI::Gene
rationale:
Another option would be Algorithm::Evolutionary (but couldn't list
it in the form). Even as there have been several evolutionary
algorithms in Perl released, none of them is in the shape of a OO
library that can be used or extended. AI::Gene contains just a part
of an evolutionary algorithm: the "chromosome".
(AI|Algorithm)::Evolutionary contains several shapes of
"chromosomes", along with its variation operators, and the
corresponding population-level algorithms.
Of the two names requested, I would go for AI::Evolutionary, since
it's not a single algorithm, but a set of algorithms with a common
skeleton; besides, evolutionary computation is usually placed within
AI. Algorithm::Genetic has been used in the past (I think by Alex
Vandiver), but wasn't finally registered; it's maybe worse because
it gives the idea of a single algorithm; AI::Evolutionary will
contain genetic algorithms, genetic programming, and other
approaches.
