X-GAT (XML-based Genetic Algorithm Toolkit) is a Java framework to optimize problems with Genetic Algorithms (GAs). Differently from other frameworks, X-GAT contains ready-to-use GAs implementations and new features can be easily added.
A java framework for developing meta-heuristics that supports the use of grids environments. The meta-heuristics planned to be realeased are GAs, VNS and NNs. The grid middleware that will be firstly explored is the OurGrid solution.
