Implementation Status and Roadmap

This document tracks the current maturity of EDAF v3 components and near-term priorities.

1) Current Maturity Snapshot

Core platform

  • status: stable
  • areas: config validation, typed contracts, RNG determinism, event bus, policy factory

Vertical slices

  • Discrete baseline (umda + umda-bernoulli + onemax): stable
  • Continuous baseline (gaussian-eda + gaussian-diag + sphere): stable
  • Permutation baseline (ehm-eda + ehm + small-tsp): stable

Persistence/Web

  • status: stable
  • areas: normalized DB schema, flattened params search, filtering/sorting/pagination API, dashboard views

Reporting

  • status: stable baseline
  • areas: HTML/LaTeX per-run generation from query repository

Advanced algorithm/model families

  • status: implemented baseline
  • includes: BMDA, MIMIC, BOA/EBNA, GMM/KDE/Copula EDAs, NES family, CMA-ES, Mallows, MO skeleton

2) Prioritized Next Steps

Priority 1

  • replace probabilistic model baselines with more expressive estimators/samplers
  • expand multi-objective pipeline from skeleton to Pareto archive + non-dominated sorting
  • enrich local search and adaptive restart policies

Priority 2

  • add cross-run comparative reporting (aggregates, confidence intervals)
  • add richer dashboard analytics (multi-run overlays, diagnostics panels)
  • increase integration/property test coverage for advanced families

Priority 3

  • add scenario packs and benchmark automation templates
  • add export adapters for external analytics stacks
  • add richer report themes and publication-ready templates

3) Quality Gates

Before promoting an algorithm/model family from baseline to stable:

  • deterministic reproducibility test under fixed seed
  • constraints invariants and sampling validity tests
  • integration test with at least one canonical benchmark
  • runtime and memory sanity checks
  • diagnostics surface reviewed for usefulness

4) Documentation Policy

This docs set describes current runtime behavior. As families move from baseline to advanced implementation, update:

  • docs/foundations/algorithms.md
  • docs/foundations/configuration.md
  • README.md

in the same change set.
