abstract = "Many kinds of Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) have been
described in the literature since the last 30 years.
However, though most of them share a common structure,
no existing software package allows the user to
actually shift from one model to another by simply
changing a few parameters, e.g. in a single window of a
Graphical User Interface. GUIDE, a graphical user
interface for DREAM experiments that, among other
user-friendly features, unifies all kinds of EAs into a
single panel, as far as evolution parameters are
concerned. Such a window can be used either to ask for
one of the well known ready-to-use algorithms, or to
very easily explore new combinations that have not yet
been studied. Another advantage of grouping all
necessary elements to describe virtually all kinds of
EAs is that it creates a fantastic pedagogic tool to
teach EAs to students and newcomers to the field.",
