I took a peak at the overview and some of the other pages and from what I can see initially, it looks like a very useful library for artificial intelligence. I have very limited knowledge in the field but this is something that grabs my interest, so if it's made public I'll definitely use it for future projects that would benefit from it. Of course whether it is suitable for Boost is for others to determine.

It seems to me that the application domain is not "artificial intelligence", but arbitrary optimisation problems. In general, I would like to see more algorithms in Boost. This library seems a good example, judging from its applicability: it seems to be widely applicable.

Yes, you are correct, DE is generic, doesn't know or care what the nature of the objective function is. Thanks, Adrian
