Abstract
Evolutionary algorithms (EA) have become an important method to approach optimization problems. Nevertheless, the selection of an appropriate algorithm is still based on experience and experiments. This paper proposes a few basic concepts which should be supplied by modern EA simulators in order to serve as a toolkit for the development of problem--specific evolutionary algorithms.
