Adapting evolutionary algorithms to the concurrent functional language Erlang

Published:06 July 2013Publication History

ABSTRACT

In this paper we describe how the usual sequential and procedural Evolutionary Algorithm is mapped to a concurrent and functional framework using the Erlang language. The design decisions, as well as some early results, are shown.
