Beta

This is the first beta release of our software.

It now contains reasonably advanced features. We can, for instance, detect groups of different algorithm behaviours (or of problem instance hardness) automatically and find reasons for these differences automatically by discovering which algorithm parameters (instance features) cause an algorithm (instance) to be assigned to a certain group. A paper on this topic is now under review :-)

Anyway, some modules and classes may still behave a bit unstable, i.e., there will probably be some stuff that we need to fix. Also, although we can print and plot a lot of information now, the style may not always be as beautiful as we want it to be, so there is also some need for beautification.

So you can use the software already, yes. If you find any odd behaviour or something is unclear, please let us know.

Alpha-2

This is the second alpha release of our software.

This release will not be published at Maven Central. It is purely for the purpose of testing the software. Yet, it is already functional.

The file evaluator.jar is the stand-alone version of the graphical user interface of our software. It can directly be executed viajava -jar evaluator.jar. It includes all evaluator components and all third party libraries. The other jars are not stand-alone and need their required other libraries in the classpath.

Compared to the 0.8.6 alpha version, we have one added module (modeler), we have more robust function fitting, several fixed bugs, and improved parallelism.

The file evaluator.jar is the stand-alone version of the evaluator of our software. It can directly be executed via java -jar evaluator.jar --help. It includes all third party libraries. The other jars are not stand-alone and need their required other libraries in the classpath.

Compared to the 0.8.5 pre-alpha version, it has better logging information, several bug fixes, and a slightly improved format for defining groupings in evaluation.xml.

Pre-Alpha

This is the very first, pre-alpha release of our software.
