Class AlgorithmicTemplate.Configuration

java.lang.Object
  orbital.algorithm.template.AlgorithmicTemplate.Configuration

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, AlgorithmicConfiguration

Direct Known Subclasses:

GeneticAlgorithm.Configuration, HeuristicAlgorithm.Configuration

Enclosing interface:

AlgorithmicTemplate

public static class AlgorithmicTemplate.Configuration
extends java.lang.Object
implements AlgorithmicConfiguration, java.io.Serializable

Default implementation of algorithmic configuration objects. Does not yet provide any additional parameters which would really justify the use of algorithmic configurations because of their benefits. Instead, this class is used as the base class for such algorithmic configuration implementations.

                                                        throws java.beans.IntrospectionException

Create a new flexible configuration. Flexible implementation of algorithmic configuration objects with properties at runtime. This implementation will dynamically set the given bean property values at runtime.

Parameters:

problem - the problem to solve.

properties - the property values used for configuring the algorithm. A Map<String,Object> mapping property names to their values.

algorithm - the class of the AlgorithmicTemplate to instantiate for solving the problem.

Throws:

java.beans.IntrospectionException - if algorithm could not be introspected.
