Solving global optimization problems plays a key role in most branches of natural sciences whilst dealing with everyday problems. With the help of optimization algorithms and the exponentially fast growth of the capabilities of the underlying hardware, the scale of feasible optimization tasks is reaching new levels. We help this goal with revisiting GLOBAL, a stochastic optimization method aiming to solve non-linear constrained optimization problems by the penalty function approach. It is a versatile tool for a broad range of problems, proven to be competitive in multiple comparisons. With the similarly rapid evolution of programming habits and tools, time naturally passed by GLOBAL’s latest implementation so that it became a drawback. Now, we present GlobalJ, a fully modularized Java framework refurbishing and extending the potential of this algorithm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
