Functionalities Overview:

| | | |:-------------------------:|:-------------------------: | Multi-Graph | Custom Plot| | Custom Functions| Default Functions | | Custom Population| Custom Benchmark|

The original paper presented only high-level pseudocode and performance graphs. This CLI bridges that gap by offering:

• 📌 A complete implementation of the algorithm logic
• 🔬 Reproducible benchmarking across standard test functions
• 📊 Exportable logs and convergence plots
• 🧠 Clear math documentation and customizable settings

Ideal for students, researchers, and developers working in optimization and metaheuristics.

A novel metaheuristic based on object-oriented programming concepts for engineering optimization.
Alexandria Engineering Journal. DOI: 10.1016/j.aej.2024.04.060

🚀 Features

• 🔧 Run OOPOA on standard benchmark functions (Sphere, Ackley, Rastrigin, etc.)
• 📉 Plot convergence graphs and export them to .png
• 🧮 Log results per iteration in .csv for reproducible analysis
• 🖋 Customizable: population size, mutation rate, bounds, and more
• 🧱 Modular codebase for easy extension (custom functions, batch runs, etc.)

📦 Installation

bash git clone https://github.com/LA-10/oop-optimizer.git cd oopoa-cli pip install -e .

OR, to use the tool only:

bash pip install oopoa

🧠 Mathematical Basis

OOPOA simulates OOP principles during optimization:

| Status | Meaning | |-------------|----------------------------------------| | 0 (public) | Use individual’s own value | | 1 (protected) | Inherit value from another solution | | 2 (private) | Generate new random value |

Please cite the paper if this tool supports your work. This implementation was independently developed based on the pseudocode and descriptions in the paper.

🛣 Roadmap

Planned additions (see docs/roadmap.md):

• 📊 Plotting multiple runs
• 🧾 Config-based runs (.json, .yaml)
• 📈 Summary tables for performance across runs
• 🔁 Comparison with other metaheuristics
