Interface IterativeOptimizer

public interface IterativeOptimizer

This IterativeOptimizer interface has to be implemented by all population-based iterative optimizers.

To bind an IterativeOptimizer, use OptimizerModule.bindIterativeOptimizer(java.lang.Class).

Method Summary

void	initialize() This method is called a single time before the optimization process is started.
void	next() Performs the next iteration in the optimization process.

Method Detail

initialize

void initialize()
                throws TerminationException

This method is called a single time before the optimization process is started. It can be used to initialize used data structures, etc.

Throws:

TerminationException - if the optimization is terminated

next

void next()
          throws TerminationException

Performs the next iteration in the optimization process.

Throws:
