GPalta is a Genetic Programming toolbox written in Java. Its main design goals are:

Simplicity, both for the user and the developer
Speed

GPalta is considered in beta stage, with many features incomplete or simply missing. However, it's currently being used succesfully in our labs. It's published here in the hope that it will be usefull for somebody else.GPalta is a java software that allows genetic programming.

Here are some key features of "GPalta":

· Tree based genetic programming
· Strongly Typed (optional)
· Multithreaded GUI to control an evolution process
· Evolutions can be saved to file, and be continued later (and/or elsewhere)
· Ease of use:
· For GP aplications, all you have to do is provide fitness cases, configure some usual GP options and click go (or call evolve from Matlab)
· For advanced research, GPalta can be easily extended with custom nodes, fitness, operators, etc


Requirements:

· java version 1.5 is required
