NAME
POE::Component::Algorithm::Evolutionary::Island - Base class for evolutionary "islands" that interchange information with each other
SYNOPSIS
use POE::Component::Algorithm::Evolutionary::Island;
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 @peers = qw( peer_1 peer_2 peer_3 ); # Different way of specifying peers, depending on implementation
POE::Component::Algorithm::Evolutionary::Island::TypeXXX->new( Fitness => $rr,
Creator => $creator,
Single_Step => $generation,
Terminator => $gterm,
Alias => 'Canonical',
Peers => \@peers );
$poe_kernel->run();DESCRIPTION
Not a lot here: it creates a component that uses POE to run an evolutionary algorithm
INTERFACE
new
POE::Component::Algorithm::Evolutionary->new( Fitness => $rr, Creator => $creator, Single_Step => $generation, Terminator => $gterm, Alias => 'Canonical', Peers => \@peers);
Basically like PoCoAE, but with peers
start
Not a big deal; mainly for initializing the population via calling ancestor
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.
