Abstract

This paper focuses on the analysis of estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) software. The important role played by EDAs implementations in the usability and range of applications of these algorithms is considered. A survey of available EDA software is presented, and classifications based on the class of programming languages and design strategies used for their implementations are discussed. The paper also reviews different directions to improve current EDA implementations. A number of lines for further expanding the areas of application for EDAs software are proposed.
