AEON is an evolutionary framework written in C++, completely object-oriented.

AEON is based on a plugin architecture to allow easy integration of new Evolutionary Algorithms (EA) and encodings, and to facilitate sharing of experiments among researchers.

Experiments are developed and compiled separately with respect to the main framework. AEON can be easily configured using text files to use different encodings and/or EAs on the same experiment.

The framework currently supports standard Genetic Algortihms (GA) (Simple GA, Steady-State GA, etc.), Differential Evolution and a number of direct and indirect encodings (bitstring, real-valued, AGE, etc.).
