CILib is a framework for implementing various computational intelligence algorithms. The current version includes implementations for many particle swarm optimisers, however, the framework is intended to be generic enough to implement other computational intelligence algorithms such as neural networks (which can be used to solve classification and clustering problems), evolutionary algorithms (such as genetic and cultural evolutionary algorithms), AIS (artificial immune systems) and in fact any algorithm falling within the computational intelligence paradigm.

In addition, CILib includes a simulator that can be used to execute and measure the performance of any of the algorithms. The simulator is included primarily for academic purposes. All the algorithms are independent of the simulation engine so that they can be used in real world applications.
