====== Working Group 4: Software ====== * **Leader**: [[https://eden.dei.uc.pt/~cmfonsec/|Carlos M. Fonseca]], University of Coimbra, Portugal * **Vice Leader**: [[https://www.fer.unizg.hr/domagoj.jakobovic|Domagoj Jakobović]], University of Zagreb, Croatia === Questions? === Email the working group leader Carlos Fonseca . ---- ===== Aims ===== Working Group 4 is tasked with support for software development in the field of nature-inspired search and optimisation heuristics. Instead of developing yet another software framework for nature-inspired search and optimisation heuristics it concentrates on the development of useful rules for the development of software and the adaptation of nature-inspired search and optimisation heuristics that are based on and guided by theoretical insights in their functioning. The group provides and maintains a repository of case studies, good practice examples and a list of software components and frameworks. ---- ===== Activities ===== [[internal:wg4:API|Development of an API for Combinatorial Optimisation]] (internal area) [[internal:wg4:Repository|Software Repository]] (internal area) [[internal:wg4:Cases|Case Studies]] (internal area)
