Abstract

The EASEA1 language (EAsy Specification of Evolutionary Algorithms) was created in order to allow scientists to concentrate on evolutionary algorithm design rather than implementation. EASEA currently supports two C++ libraries (GALib and EO) and a JAVA library for the DREAM. The aim of this paper is to assess the quality of EASEA-generated code through an extensive test procedure comparing the implementation for EO and GALib of the same test functions.

Research funded by the European Commission IST Programme 1999-12679 (Future and Emerging Technologies).
