New HeuristicLab Publication
The book chapter Architecture and Design of the HeuristicLab Optimization Environment is now available. As part of the series Advanced Methods and Applications in Computational Intelligence a whole chapter is dedicated to the architecture and design of HeuristicLab. It includes
- background and historical information
- a detailed description of the architecture and design of the software
- an overview of the object and view model
- an introduction to operators, parameters and the scope tree
- a section on algorithm and problem modeling including the following examples:
- Genetic Algorithm
- Simulated Annealing
- Quadratic Assignment Problem
- Simulation-Based Optimization
- Genetic Programming

HeuristicLab YouTube Channel
Because of multiple user requests and our continuous quest to improve documentation we have sat together last week and recorded some video tutorials which cover various parts of HeuristicLab.
So far we have created 4 video tutorials:
How to Execute Algorithms in HeuristicLab
The video shows how you can parameterize and execute algorithms in HeuristicLab:
HeuristicLab Usability and Views
This video demonstrates the basic user interface concepts of HeuristicLab and how to effectively use them:
Experiment Design and Analysis in HeuristicLab
This video shows how to create experiments and batch-runs in HeuristicLab as well as how to analyze the generated results:
How to create Custom Algorithms in HeuristicLab
This video shows how algorithms in HeuristicLab can be adapted in the GUI by extending a Genetic Algorithm to incorporate a crossover probability:
Additionally we have also created a video which gives a quick overview of HeuristicLab's most important features:
