Re: [Cilib-users] introduction and some questions

[Gary P. <gpa...@cs...>]

Hello Soren,

Thanks for the kind comments :)

As far as I know there are no applications that use CILib within their
code base, although I cannot see why not as CILib has been designed to be
used in that way or simply via the simulator for tests etc.

The Simulator(IOC) was written to show the expressive power of CILib and
is not intended as the manner in which all applications of the library are
to be done. It works well for experimental work, however, if you would
like to integrate CILib into a project then I would advise using the
library directly. This however is completely up to you.

JNI would indeed be a valid option, a MSc student by the name of Marais
Neethling is using CILib in conjunction with JNI for BioInformatics
research applications, using the Vienna package as the fitness function
evaluator for  PSO.

If you need any explanation about the various aspects, please let us know.
We are currently revamping the documentation and correcting some minor
errors with it as well.

Keep an eye out for some updates that are to come.

Regards,
Gary
