E-Book "Global Optimization Algorithms - Theory and Application"

At http://www.it-weise.de/projects/book.pdf you can find my e-book "Global Optimization Algorithms". This book elaborates on many of the basic principles in global optimization, evolutionary algorithms, and genetic programming. The Sigoa projects is based on this book.

Currently, I am performing a transition from the second edition of the book to the third one. This transition is still in an early phase and there is lots of work left to do. Until this is done, the old version of the book will remain available.

I provide mailing lists for my students at NICAL (nical@it-weise.de) and for the propagation of Calls for Papers (cfp@it-weise.de). You can subscribe to and unsubscribe from these lists here.

Sigoa Optimization Framework

Sigoa, the Simple Interface for Global Optimization Algorithms, is a simple package for optimization, mainly of the evolutionary kind. With this framework, I wish to implement all the algorithms from my E-Book step by step. Currently, it is in a transition state and there isn't much to see. You can find it on SourceForge, where its most recent code is available via CVS.

sfc

sfc, the Software Foundation Classes are my personal set of gadgets and utils for Java. Well, every programmer has such a thing. Sigoa heavily utilizes these classes which are again available via SourceForge and CVS.
