The Genetic Algorithm Utility Library (or, GAUL for short) is a flexible programming library designed to aid in the development of applications that require the use of genetic algorithms. It provides data structures and functions for handling and manipulation of the data required for a genetic algorithm. Additional stochastic algorithms are provided for comparison to the genetic algorithms. GAUL is OSI Certified Open Source Software. The current primary aims for the GAUL development project are to produce documentation, examples and test cases for this open-source release of GAUL. Several new features are also planned for GAUL including wrappers to enable its use with programming languages other than C. The main development platform for GAUL is Linux with the gcc compiler, but it should be fairly trivial to use GAUL on any POSIX compliant systems. Recent versions of GAUL have been successfully used a variety of operating systems, including RedHat Linux, FreeBSD, Sun’s Solaris and SGI’s IRIX. Full use is made of the GNU maketools to aid portability issues. A table of fully compatible platforms is located at This version of GAUL is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License. See the file ./COPYING for full details.
