IslandEv - Island Based Coevolution across the Internet

Welcome to the home of IslandEv, a free Java package to distribute an artificial evolutionary process across the internet in an island based coevolutionary model. Each host in this model holds an island with an evolving population located on a 2D grid with individuals migrating between these islands.

IslandEv is capable of distributing any evolutionary process package written in Java. You can start distributing your evolutionary process by simply implementing a couple of interfaces provided by IslandEv. In the case that the evolutionary process is JaGa this has already been done for you. Read more about how to get started with IslandEv.
