Me too. I have read that EC is competitive when the fitness function is riddled with discontinuities though, so it may still be useful. As an aside, I also found a lot of the folklore surrounding more conventional optimization algorithms to be completely wrong in practice (at least in the context of molecular dynamics). -- Dr Jon D Harrop, Flying Frog Consultancy Ltd. http://www.ffconsultancy.com/products/?e _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
