[Pharo-users] A Genetic Algorithms Framework for Pharo

Hi,

I just implemented (the kernel of) a Framework for genetic algorithms 
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_algorithm 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_algorithm>) in Pharo. 
Some of you could be dealing with optimisation problems. So maybe it could be 
useful for you.

I implemented some basic functionalities : monoobjecitve, multi objective, a 
crossover and mutation operators, uniform selection... I also implemented some 
basic exemples ( mono/multi knapsack and travelling salesman) 
I still need to provide some documentation but there are lot of tests so it is 
easy to see how it works. I will add more operators from time to time.

The code is intended to be as easy to reuse as possible. It is on Smalltalkhub 
: http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~Alidra/GeneticAlgorithmsFramework/

Please take a look and tell me what you think. I will be pleased to help if you 
think the Framework can apply to your problem. just let me know :)
