The MetaJul project is aimed at studying the implementation of metaheuristics in the Julia programming language. The implemented codes and unit tests are located, respectively, in the src and tests test folders. MetaJul is described in the paper Experiences Using Julia for Implementing Multi-objective Evolutionary Algorithms <https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-031-62922-8_12>_, presented at the MIC 2024 conference.
Current features:
Encoding: continuous, binary
Problems:
Operators: mutation (uniform, polynomial, bit-flip), crossover (BLX-alpha, simulated binary crossover -SBX-, single-point), selection (random, binary tournament)
Algorithms: local search, evolutionary algorithm, NSGA-II, SMPSO (multi-objective PSO)
Encodings: continuous (float, integer), binary
Archives: unbounded non-dominated archive, bounded crowding distance archive
Observers: EvaluationObserver, FitnessObserver, FrontPlotObserver. Observers can be registered in observable entities, such as evolutionary algorithms, at configuration time.
The examples folder contains Julia programs illustrating how the included algorithms (local search, single objective evolutionary algorithm, NSGA-II, SMPSO) can be configured and executed.
Jupyter notebooks with examples can be found in the notebooks folder.
The next steps to carry out are enumerated in the open issues page <https://github.com/jMetal/MetaJul/issues>_ of the project.
