Fig. 10.3 Example of an experiment and the configuration window of a method
Figure 10.3 shows an example of an experiment following theMOGULmethodology
and using a report box to obtain a summary of the results. The configuration window
of one of the used post-processing methods is also shown in this figure.
When the experiment has been designed, the user can choose either to save the
design in a XML file or to obtain a zip file. If the user chooses a zip file, then
the system will generate the file with the directory structure and required files for
running the designed experiment in any local machine with Java. This directory
structure contains the data sources, the jar files of the algorithms, the configuration
files in XML format, a script file with all the indicated algorithms in XML format,
and a Java tool, named RunKeel , to run the experiment. RunKeel can be seen as a
simple EA scripting environment that reads the script file in XML format, runs all
the indicated algorithms and saves the results in one or several report files.
Obviously, this kind of interface is ideal for experts of specific areas who, familiar
with the methodologies and methods used in their particular area of interest, intend
to develop a new method and would like to compare it with the well-known methods
available in KEEL.
