jMetal

jMetal is designed as an object-oriented Java-based framework that is specially aimed at the development, experimentation, and study of metaheuristics for solving multi-objective optimization problems. Metal stands for Metaheuristic Algorithms in Java,

jMetal provides a rich set of classes which can be used as the building blocks of multi-objective metaheuristics; taking advantage of code-reusing, the algorithms share the same base components, such as implementations of genetic operators and density estimators, thus facilitating the development of new multi-objective algorithms.

A number of multi-objective metaheuristics have been implemented using jMetal, and many problems usually included in performance studies are currently available in the framework.

jMetal also provides quality indicators to performance assessing as well as a set of utilities that help in carrying out experimental studies.
