The MOEA Framework is a free and open source Java library for developing and experimenting with multiobjective
evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) and other metaheuristics.
### Features
* Fast, reliable implementations of over 25 MOEAs, including NSGA-III and MOEA/D.
* Suite of tools for comparing and statistically testing algorithms.
* Master-slave, island-model, and hybrid parallelization.
* Permissive open source license (LGPL)
### :warning: Upgrading to V5 :warning:
Version 5.0 was recently released, which includes breaking changes that will likely requiring code modifications if
upgrading from a previous version. Refer to the [Release Notes](docs/releaseNotes.md) for details.
### Getting Started
Download the latest release from the [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/MOEAFramework/MOEAFramework/releases) page. Maven users can add our
dependency to their `pom.xml` file:
```xml
org.moeaframework
moeaframework
5.1
```
Check out our [examples](https://github.com/MOEAFramework/MOEAFramework/tree/master/examples),
[online documentation](https://github.com/MOEAFramework/MOEAFramework/blob/master/docs/README.md), and
[API Specification (Javadoc)](https://moeaframework.org/javadoc/index.html) to get started.
### Example
Below we solve the 2-objective DTLZ2 problem using NSGA-II:
```java
Problem problem = new DTLZ2(2);
NSGAII algorithm = new NSGAII(problem);
algorithm.run(10000);
algorithm.getResult().display();
```
