Myriad

A Scala Akka library for swarm intelligence algorithms

How It Works

---

1. Create an objective function which looks something like this

def objectiveFunction(X: List[Double]): Double {
  ...
}

2. Declare a config using your objective function and specify some initial solutions

The number of solutions specified will determine the size of the swarm. The only two required parameters are the objective function and initial solutions but all of the other parameters are customizable as well.

val conf = PSOConfiguration(
  objectiveFunction = obj,
  initialSolutions = solutions,
  ...
)

3. Create a factory to build the optimization system

val psoSystemFactory = new PSOSystemFactory(conf)
val pso = psoSystemFactory.build()

4. Create an exectuor to run the optimization

val psoJob = new PSOExecutor(pso)
psoJob.run
