Package: Particle Swarm Visualisation
System name: pso3d
This package wants to apply for inclusion in the GNU project

Description:
This project is basically a generic visualization project for most particle 
swarm optimization research. The reason for this project is that a simple 3d 
representation of the search space and the corresponding particle positions is 
needed. There are numerous people involved in particle swarm optimization 
within the Computational Intelligence Group at Pretoria University and would 
require such a visualization.

This project will require the use of 3d rendering of fitness landscapes and the 
representation of semi/transparent particles (In order to track the best 
particle always). The user must also be able to move through the search space 
and zoom in and out. 
Initially all the fitness landscape and particle position data will have 
already been generated and available. This visualization program will tarce 
through that data and give a visual representation of what the particles are 
doing in the landscape.

This project does not exist but I am working on it. I need this project for my 
research so it WILL be implmented in any case.


Other Software Required:
Mesa 3d libraries (not sure which version yet)
A working linux distribution that can support opengl.

Other Comments:
none.
