public interface ImprovementHeuristic
extends Heuristics

Interface representing an improvement heuristic. Its responsibility is to start with a pool (possibly just one) of feasible solutions and improve one or more of them, or add new ones. Note that heuristics use the callback "design pattern", meaning that the result of this heuristic is returned via a callback provided while invoking it.

Method Summary

void	start(Experiment experiment, List<IdSet> feasiblePool, HeuristicCallback callback) Start the heuristic run.

Method Detail

start

void start(Experiment experiment,
           List<IdSet> feasiblePool,
           HeuristicCallback callback)
           throws InterruptedException

Start the heuristic run. Use the information in the provided experiment to improve the provided pool (possibly only one) of feasible solutions.

Parameters:

experiment - Experiment in context of which to run the heuristic.

feasiblePool - List of feasible solutions found so far.

callback - Callback to be invoked when finished.

Throws:

InterruptedException
