Written in JavaScript language, can be executed in most web browsers. Consequently, everybody can participate in the experiments, and scientists can take advantage of nowadays available browsers and devices as computation environments. This is also a great challenge as the language support and performance varies from one browser to another. In this paper, jsEvRBF has been tested in a volunteer computing experiment, and also in a single-browser one. Both experiments are related to forecasting currencies exchange, and the results show the viability of the proposal.}, keywords = {evolutionary computation, fintech, radial basis function neural networks, time-series forecasting, volunteer computation, Web-based programming}, doi = {10.1002/isaf.1409}, url = {https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/isaf.1409}, author = {Rivas, V.M. and E.

Using browsers to run forecasting algorithms is a challenge, since language support and performance varies across implementations of the JavaScript virtual machine and vendor. However, their use will provide a boost in the number of platforms available for scientists. jsEvRBF is written in JavaScript, so that it can be easily delivered to and executed by any device containing a web-browser just accessing an URL. The experiments show the results yielded by the algorithm over a data set related to currencies exchange. Best results achieved can be effectively compared against previous results in literature, though robustness of the new algorithm has to be improved.}, isbn = {978-3-319-40111-9}, author = {Rivas, V.
