Abstract

Sugal is a major new public-domain software package designed tosupport experimentation with, and implementation of, GeneticAlgorithms. Sugal includes a generalised Genetic Algorithm,which supports the major popular versions of the GA as specialcases. Sugal also has integrated support for various datatypes,including real numbers, and features to make hybridisationsimple. This paper discusses the Sugal GA, showing howrecombining the features of the popular algorithms results inthe creation of a number of useful hybrid algorithms.
