Adaptive Simulated Annealing (ASA) for octave?

[Giorgio Dall'Olmo]

Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone has ever though of compiling the Adaptive 
Simulated Annealing routine (http://www.ingber.com/#ASA) so that it can 
be used from octave.

I've used before a version of the ASA code (called "asamin") that had 
been compiled for Matlab 
(http://faculty.arts.ubc.ca/ssakata/public_html/cgi-bin/export_file.cgi?dir=SOFTWAREARC&file=asamin_1.36.tar.gz). 
 I am sending this link, because it may help to create a similar thing 
for octave.

As you may understand I have practically zero knowledge of how to 
implement this and that's why I am knocking on your door.

Any help/suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

Cheers,
Giorgio
