  • I'm looking for a basic genetic algorithm coded in Java. I want a copy of the code that I can reuse for some optimisation problems I'm looking at. It should be fairly simple Java, as I'm a 'sometime' Java developer.


  • Hi rcrossle: Thanks for the interesting question. There are many different flavors of Genetic Algorithms. I have found the following examples of reusable Java classes and code that you can use as a starting point for your optimisation problems. The GA Playground (Genetic Algorithms Toolkit) URL: http://www.aridolan.com/ga/gaa/gaa.html Quote: "The GA Playground is a general purpose genetic algorithm toolkit where the user can define and run his own optimization problems. The toolkit is implemented in the Java language, and requires (when used as an application, in its full mode), a Java compiler and a very basic programming knowledge (just enough for coding a fitness function). Defining a problem consists of creating an Ascii definition file in a format similar to Windows Ini files, and modifying the fitness function in the GaaFunction source file. In addition, other methods can (optionally) be overwritten (e.g. the drawing method), other classes can be extended or replaced, and additional input can be supplied through Ascii files." Download: http://www.aridolan.com/ga/gaa/gaa.html#Download GAJIT - A Simple Java Genetic Algorithms Package URL: http://www.micropraxis.com/gajit/index.html Quote: "GAJIT (Genetic Algorithm Java Implementation Toolkit) is a rather contrived name for a simple set of classes that I wrote to experiment with genetic algorithms." Genetic Programming in Java URL: http://www.esatclear.ie/~rwallace/gp.html Quote: "Two applications are provided which implement genetic programming using a fully Turing-equivalent representation language with list processing operations, named functions, recursion, LAMBDA and lexical scoping. Full source code is included in the distribution." Please let me know whether any of these packages work for your needs. If not, then please be more specific about exactly what you are looking for and I will try again. Search Strategy (on Google): * "genetic algorithm" java - then surfing and selecting the most appropriate examples I hope this helps! websearcher
