ECJ, A Java-based Evolutionary Computation Research System. ECJ is a research EC system written in Java. It was designed to be highly flexible, with nearly all classes (and all of their settings) dynamically determined at runtime by a user-provided parameter file. All structures in the system are arranged to be easily modifiable. Even so, the system was designed with an eye toward efficiency. ECJ is developed at George Mason University's ECLab Evolutionary Computation Laboratory. The software has nothing to do with its initials' namesake, Evolutionary Computation Journal. ECJ's sister project is MASON, a multi-agent simulation system which dovetails with ECJ nicely.

The newest version!

Mona is an implementation of the Mona Lisa problem originally proposed
and then later built upon by Roger Alsing

Alsing's approach is fairly funky: and his claim that it's genetic programming
is mistaken.  This code is an attempt to put the method on a bit firmer footing,
though it still needs some tweaking to get back to Alsing's original performance.
I encourage you to play with it.
