Sequential Parameter Optimization (SPO)

The sequential parameter optimization toolbox SPOT was developed over the last years by Thomas Bartz-Beielstein, Christian Lasarczyk, and Mike Preuss. The main purpose of SPOT is to determine improved parameter settings for optimization algorithms to analyze and understand their performance.
SPOT was successfully applied to numerous optimization algorithms, especially in the field of evolutionary computation, i.e., evolution strategies, particle swarm optimization, algorithmic chemistries etc. in the following domains:
  • machine engineering: design of mold temperature control
  • aerospace industry: airfoil design optimization
  • simulation and optimization: elevator group control
  • technical thermodynamics: non sharp separation
  • economy: agri-environmental policy-switchings
  • algorithm engineering: graph drawing
  • statistics: selection under uncertainty (optimal computational budget allocation) for PSO
  • evolution strategies: threshold selection and step-size adaptation
  • genetic chromodynamics
  • computational intelligence: algorithmic chemistry
  • particle swarm optimization: analysis and application
  • numerics: comparison and analysis of classical and modern optimization algorithms
  • vehicle routing and door-assignment problems
  • bioinformatics
  • storm water management
  • differential and integral equations
  • time series analysis
An R version of this toolbox for interactive and automatic optimization of algorithms can be downloaded from CRAN.
