AbEC - How to use

[~]$ Overview
After cloning the repository in our computer and run the install.sh script (to see more about the installation come here), we already have enough to run the framework. The directory created is AbEC, and inside of it contains all the files needed to configure and to use the framework.

There are two ways to run the framework, through the graphical interface and via the command line. In the Running section we are going to explain how to use both. But fisrt, lets take a look in the most important part in the usage of the framework: The configuration files.

As a adjustable framework, we need to configure it before use. This configuration is made through three configuration files, where we can set which components and what values for the hyper-parameters we want to use. These files are:
  • algoConfig.ini: Where it is the configuration related to the functioning of the algorithm itself (e.g. Population size, optimizers, ...).

  • expConfig.ini: Where it is the configuration of the framework parameters (e.g. number of runs, path of the files, number of evaluations, ...).

  • problemConfig.ini: Where it is the configuration of problem (e.g. number of dimensions, dynamic or not, ...).

These files are located in AbEC/abec/. After cloning the repository:

$ cd AbEC/abec


Below is some documentation on how to use the framework.
