Package net.sourceforge.cilib.algorithm.population.knowledgetransferstrategies

Interface Summary

KnowledgeTransferStrategy

This interface is used in combination with a MultiPopulationBasedAlgorithm to enable different types of knowledge (like global best particle positions etc.) to be shared among different sub-populations during a search.

Class Summary

SelectiveKnowledgeTransferStrategy

An implementation of KnowledgeTransferStrategy where two Selection instances are used to first select a sub-population (PopulationBasedAlgorithm) from a collection of population-based algorithms (see MultiPopulationBasedAlgorithm) and then within this sub-population's {@link Topology}, which entity's knowledge is to be transfered to the caller requesting it.
