I have coded ecj in separate branch now several years (XML things and such,
latest item is jdk1.5 porting). Quite lately I added separate goal package
which tries to figure out are research goals filled. If not it starts new
simulations by variying parameters (depends used goal strategy), it kind of
tries automate my research. Or kind of that hypotetical future I can focus
to inspect results, just define varied variables and generated graphs.
Another thing for it is that it should optimise used resources so that it
uses all computing power available to make results better or simulations
bigger if there is time. It kind of works, have been happy for this goal
package and keep it. Something similar "metasim", "thread manager", "sim
manager" or "goal" package could fit for ecj also to help scientist and I
think there is no such item yet.
