Abstract

JEvolution is a java package offering a basic structure to solve and handle specific problems. These problems can be optimized by evolutionary algorithms, which are inspired by biological procedures in nature. The user has to define his goal and implement it in a way, which JEvolution understands (e.g. the fitness function).

Currently all solutions are lost when the user closes the program. Our task is to provide an Export /Import function of individuals for JEvolution.

We want to implement an XML data structure in order to provide an universal interface for loading and saving the representation of chosen solutions. The representation can be real numbers, bitstrings or binary trees.
