Hi,

I am interested in Ruby libraries that could be of help in  
using/implementing genetic, evolutionary algorithms and, while I did the  
obvious search:

[http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Genetic+Algorithm%2Bruby&btnG=Google+Search](http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Genetic+Algorithm%2Bruby&btnG=Google+Search)

I would be interested in knowing if anyone had personal experience with  
any of these, recommendations, etc.

Thanks.

As you have found some Ruby implementations of genetic algorithms from  
Google already, I’d just like to suggest the following technical report  
paper as a gentle introductory guide to literature about genetic  
algorithms:

[http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/194057.html](http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/194057.html),

saying for what kinds of problems genetic algorithms work well.

Best regards,

Axel
