This page exists to give status reports and documentation of the Fall 2009 comparison between Iterated F-RACE and ParamILS on various problem domains. These domains and their scenarios are as follows:

---+ Solution-Quality Optimisation

---++ Ant-Colony Optimisation for the TSP

---+++ 7 Parameter Case
   * Tuned for both 5 second runs and 20 second runs.
   * Tuned for 768, 1728 and 3888 function evaluations (algorithm runs).
