When we try to design a seemed novel evolutionary algorithms, we need to test its performance by comparing with other existing evolutionary algorithms.
What do you do at this time? To implement the existing evolutionary algorithms with which you want to compare by yourself or ask for the sources codes from the authors?
In my opinion, most authors won't share their source codes with others. As I send many emails while get very few reply.
If you have the source codes of some EAs, do you mind send them to me? ([email protected])
