Abstract

EpochX is a Genetic Programming (GP) framework written in Java. It allows the creation of tree-based and grammar-based GP systems. It has been created to reflect typical ways in which Java programmers work, for example, borrowing from the Java event model and taking inspiration from the Java collections framework. This paper presents EpochX in general, and gives particular attention to the event model and the statistics analysis framework.
