Notice: The reproducibility variables underlying each score are classified using an automated LLM-based pipeline, validated against a manually labeled dataset. LLM-based classification introduces uncertainty and potential bias; scores should be interpreted as estimates. Full accuracy metrics and methodology are described in [1].

Pseudocode No The paper does not contain structured pseudocode or algorithm blocks for its own methodology. It discusses examples of grammar for designing genetic algorithms in Figure 4 and mentions algorithm templates and operators, but it does not present a new algorithm using pseudocode.
Open Source Code No The paper lists open-source software like irace, Param ILS, SMAC, and Sparkle used in the field of automated algorithm design, and provides links to their repositories. However, these are third-party tools, not code released by the authors for the methodology described in this survey paper.
Open Datasets No The paper is a survey and does not conduct its own experiments using datasets. It references various numerical benchmark problems and practical problems (e.g., CEC 2005, DTLZ, WFG, NK-Landscape, JSS, TSP, SAT) that have been used in the literature being surveyed, but it does not provide access information for datasets used in its own work.
Dataset Splits No As a survey paper that does not conduct its own experiments with data, there is no information provided about dataset splits (e.g., training/test/validation splits).
Hardware Specification No The paper is a survey and does not describe any experimental hardware used for its own research.
Software Dependencies No The paper is a survey and does not list specific software dependencies with version numbers for its own methodology.
Experiment Setup No The paper is a survey and does not provide details about an experimental setup, hyperparameters, or system-level training settings.
