POWer

POW^er is an open source optimization framework with Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and CMA-ViE engines at its core. POW^er enables creating specific optimization tasks, and has been since used to solve problems in the context of integrative modelling, force field parameterization and function minimization. POW^er has been developed by Matteo while in the Dal Peraro group, EPFL (Switzerland), currently further developing and maintaining it.
