LOGIVOLVE: THE FIRST COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE NEUROGENETIC TOOLKIT

LOGIVOLVE is a new product that combines the two hottest technologies
today--neural networks (AI or Artificial Intelligence) and genetic
algorithms (AL or Artificial Life)--into one extremely powerful package.
Complex systems containing neural networks, parameter-based components,
traditional logic, and even feedback loops incorporating such
elements--that were previously too difficult, if not impossible, to
construct by direct means--can now be evolved with LOGIVOLVE.

LOGIVOLVE makes it possible to develop neural network systems that possess
whatever overall behavioral characteristics are desired, even when no
trial-by-trial training targets can be specified. In addition, complex
neural architectures involving multiple feedback paths, intervening
rule-based logic, and more, can be handled with ease. LOGIVOLVE solves
problems in a more robust way, one much less susceptible to spurious local
maxima, than more traditional approaches. This gives the users of this
technology a decided edge.

LOGIVOLVE comes as a programmer's library with functions for loading,
saving, creating and training neural networks--the same features present
in standard neural network development libraries (e.g., our own N-TRAIN
for C, Ward System's NeuroWindows, HyperLogic's OWL). However, unlike
standard neural tools, LOGIVOLVE also contains functions for mating
various components (e.g., neural networks, vectors, lists of flags for use
in rule-based logic) using mutation and crossover in order to obtain
offspring, as well as functions that allow complete populations of the
various objects to be handled en masse, and that implement the process of
evolution in such populations.

Both Visual Basic and C programmers will find LOGIVOLVE extremely logical
and easy-to-use. The Visual Basic version is supplied as a Windows DLL
(dynamic link library) that may be used with Visual Basic, Turbo Pascal
for Windows, Borland C++ under Windows, and Microsoft's Visual C++. The C
version is available as a C function library with full source, optimized
for 32-bit compilers (e.g., Zortech C++, Watcom C, etc.). It may also be
recompiled for use with 16-bit compilers (e.g., Borland C++) with few or
no changes. In addition to versions for 386/486 platforms, LOGIVOLVE is
available for Hyperspeed Technology's parallel 860 supercomputing products
and for Microway's Number-Smasher 860 card.

Does LOGIVOLVE really work? We have already evolved highly profitable
trading systems (which we call the "DARWIN G.E.N.T.S." or Genetically
Evolved Trading Savants, the first of their kind) which achieve trading
results that could not otherwise be achieved using the more common
back-propagation neural network approach. Traders will be happy to know
that by using our TradeNet link module, LOGIVOLVE systems may be run in
Omega Research's TradeStation, System Writer, and SuperCharts.

Also note: LOGIVOLVE is so unique, it's PATENT PENDING!

Costs:    LOGIVOLVE for C (with source) $459 
          LOGIVOLVE for Visual Basic    $259
