Starting with MOEA Framework 3.7 and the introduction of the PISA-Plugin extension, no configuration is required to use PISA selectors.
However, with prior versions, one needed to edit moeaframework.properties to configure each
selector. This legacy configuration is still supported for backwards compatibility. Below is an
example of the settings:
## The following defines the available PISA selector names.
org.moeaframework.algorithm.pisa.algorithms = FEMO, HypE, IBEA, NSGA2, SEMO2, SVH, SPEA2
## The poll rate specifies, in milliseconds, how frequently the state file is
## checked.
org.moeaframework.algorithm.pisa.poll = 100
## For each algorithm, define its configuration options below. For an
## algorithm called NAME, specify the following:
##
## 1) The executable to run:
## org.moeaframework.algorithm.pisa.NAME.command = <string>
##
## 2) The list of parameters:
## org.moeaframework.algorithm.pisa.NAME.parameters = <list>
## The order typically matters, so ensure the parameters are listed in the
## same order as expected by the executable.
##
## 3) For each parameter PARAM, specify its default value:
## org.moeaframework.algorithm.pisa.NAME.parameter.PARAM = <number>
## It is not necessary to give a default for the seed parameter as it is
## always set by the MOEA Framework.
##
## Note: Prior to version 1.14, the MOEA Framework only accepted a static
## version of the algorithm parameters using the option:
## org.moeaframework.algorithm.pisa.NAME.configuration = <file>
## This is still accepted, but would mean the MOEA Framework is unable to
## change the algorithm parameters.
