We proudly announce the new release 1.2 of FREVO (FRamework for EVOlutionary design). FREVO helps to reduce the time to implement, set up and run an evolutionary algorithm to evolve an agent’s behavior as a solution to a particular control problem. FREVO supports decomposing the task into problem definition, solution representation and the optimization method. The componentwise separation allows to experiment with different combinations of algorithms and neural networks for different tasks.
The following features were added to the new release of FREVO:
- HEMS – a simulation for modeling trading behavior of loads and local energy generators.
- SinglePong – a simulation of the one player pong game where several paddles can cooperate in order to achieve better performance.
- Pong – a simulation of the pong game where two teams can play against each other.
Quick start:
- download the newest version at frevo.sourceforge.net
- unpack the ZIP file
- unless you have it already on your system, install Java
- execute the createscrips.jar (“java -jar createscrips.jar”)
- you can now run FREVO using the script named launch_Frevo
…or have a look at the following video explaining the basic steps to get started with FREVO:
