Interface GeneticExperiment

All Superinterfaces:

Clearable, Experiment

public interface GeneticExperiment

extends Experiment, Clearable

An Experiment is constituted by a collection of Scenario's. The fitness of one or more genetic codes can evaluated on an Experiment by evaluating the fitness on each of the Scenario's constituting it.

Method Detail

addGeneticCode

public void addGeneticCode(GeneticCode code)

Set the genetic code to be evaluated. Depending on the implementation of this interface, this method may be invoked more than once, for example to evaluate the fitness of a collection of genetic codes.

getFitness

public double getFitness()

Return the evaluated fitness. This operation is separated from the actual evaluation in order to enable the computation of fitness values using "resource sharing" techniques.
