FlexTool:

FlexTool(GA) is a modular software tool which provides an ENVIRONMENT for applying GA to diverse domains with minimum user interaction and design iteration.

Version M2.2 is the MATLAB version which provides a total GA based design and development environment in MATLAB. MATLAB provides us with an interactive computation intensive environment. The high level, user friendly programming language combined with built-in functions to handle matrix algebra, Fourier series, and complex valued functions provides the power for large scale number crunching.

The GA objects are provided as .m files. FlexTool(GA) Version M2.2 is designed with emphasis on modularity, flexibility, user friendliness, environment transparency, upgradability, and reliability. The design is engineered to evolve complex, robust models by drawing on the power of MATLAB.
