NAME

POE::Component::Algorithm::Evolutionary::Island::POEtic - Island that uses POE mechanisms for interchanging information, and act only as POE sessions

SYNOPSIS

  use POE::Component::Algorithm::Evolutionary::Island::POEtic;

  use Algorithm::Evolutionary qw( Individual::BitString Op::Creator 
				  Op::CanonicalGA Op::Bitflip 
				  Op::Crossover Op::GenerationalTerm
				  Fitness::Royal_Road);

  my $bits = shift || 64;
  my $block_size = shift || 4;
  my $pop_size = shift || 256; #Population size
  my $numGens = shift || 200; #Max number of generations
  my $selection_rate = shift || 0.2;

  #Initial population
  my $creator = new Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Creator( $pop_size, 'BitString', { length => $bits });

  # Variation operators
  my $m = Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Bitflip->new( 1 );
  my $c = Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Crossover->new(2, 4);

  # Fitness function: create it and evaluate
  my $rr = new  Algorithm::Evolutionary::Fitness::Royal_Road( $block_size );

  my $generation = Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::CanonicalGA->new( $rr , $selection_rate , [$m, $c] ) ;
  my $gterm = new Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::GenerationalTerm 10;

  my @nodes = qw( node_1 node_2 );
  my %sessions;
  for my $n ( @nodes ){
    my @nodes_here = grep( $_ ne $n, @nodes );
    $sessions{$n} = POE::Component::Algorithm::Evolutionary::Island::POEtic->new( Fitness => $rr,
										Creator => $creator,
										Single_Step => $generation,
										Terminator => $gterm,
										Alias => $n,
										Peers => \@nodes_here );
  }

  $poe_kernel->run();

DESCRIPTION

Using post, this type of island moves individuals from one island to another

INTERFACE

new

POE::Component::Algorithm::Evolutionary::Island::POEtic->new( Fitness => $rr, Creator => $creator, Single_Step => $generation, Terminator => $gterm, Alias => 'this_peer', Peers => \@peers);

Basically like PoCoAE, but with peers

after_step

Not to be called from outside, is the one that does the actual interchange between islands.

CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

POE::Component::Algorithm::Evolutionary requires no configuration files or environment variables.

DEPENDENCIES

Main dependence is Algorithm::Evolutionary; however, it's not included by default, since you must pick and choose the modules you are going to actually use.

INCOMPATIBILITIES

None reported.

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

No bugs have been reported.

Please report any bugs or feature requests to bug-poe-component-algorithm-evolutionary@rt.cpan.org, or through the web interface at http://rt.cpan.org.
